Forever #1
The Letter
The Letter continues the story of Jessi from Until Forever as she comes to grips with being abandoned by her parents as she was growing up.
Jessi softly returned the phone to its cradle. She knew this day would come although she didn’t expect it so soon. She had prepared herself but she still felt some odd stirrings within her that were most unexpected. Truthfully she had thought she would feel nothing.
Mark wrapped his arms around his wife. “I’m so sorry, honey.” He held her and she sobbed on his shoulder. Not because she mourned the man who fathered her, but because she mourned the relationship they never had and would now never have.
Can healing and forgiveness take place beyond the grave? The Letter tells the tale of a broken father/daughter relationship and how communication can bring healing if the heart is willing.
The Letter is the first book in the Forever Novella series. This series tells the stories of the secondary characters of the Women of Prayer series. This novella is a companion to Until Forever, Darlene Shortridge’s full-length debut novel.

Things that define a great book to me:
Tears, Laughter, feeling like you are a part of the family, surprises.
And every child deserves another day with those they love, if only to hear the
words ‘I love you’ once more.”
This book was about love. Jessi, was raised by her aunt and uncle. This is the story of her going back home (with her family) for her dad's funeral and her mom sharing her dad's story. Jessi never felt like her dad loved her and through chapters written by her dad as he was a young man, became a husband, businessman, etc we learned how much James did love her.
Although a novella I savored this book because I didn't want it end. I felt connected to James , Will, Jessi.
I like that Darlene actually walks you through how to accept Christ. So many talk about people that have but not exactly the words to say.
Well done Darlene, well done.
