BEYOND TUESDAY MORNING

Reviews

Photobucket - Video and Image HostingThis is the sequel to One Tuesday Morning which I reviewed above. From the book jacket: To Jamie Bryan it is still September 12, 2001. What will move her from living in the past to living the life God has given her today?It’s been three years since the terrorist attacks on New York City, but FDNY widow Jamie Bryan keeps waking up to the aching pain of that one Tuesday morning, the morning of September 11, 2001.Determined to find meaning in her grief, Jamie pours her life into volunteer work at St. Paul’s, the small memorial chapel across from where the twin towers once stood. In the stream of broken, grieving people who make their way through the church doors, Jamie connects with two men – a firefighter forever changed by the attacks, and a Los Angeles police officer.Unsure and feeling somehow guilty, Jamie opens herself to the possibility of loving again. But what she learns about one man sends her reeling. How can this be God’s plan for her life?Now only the persistence of a tenacious man, questions from Jamie’s curious young daughter, and words from her dead husband’s journal can move Jamie Bryan beyond one Tuesday morning – toward life. I enjoy sequels because I can get right into the book without having to spend a bunch of mental energy figuring out all the characters, locations, etc. I could see the twist coming in this book long before it happened. You’ll have to read it to find out what it is. It’s a very enjoyable book! I think I preferred this one because the events of 9-11 are past, the characters are healing, and life is beginning again.
