Anyone would think that Karissa and Malcolm have the perfect life. Young and successful, they've built their dream home on beautiful Kodiak Island in Alaska. But behind closed doors it's a much different story. Unable to have children, and currently inactive in the Church, Karissa and Malcolm's marriage is beginning to fall apart.
When Jesse and Brionney Hergarter move to Kodiak, Karissa senses a kindred spirit. With Brionney's friendship and support, Karissa feels a growing desire to return to activity in the Church. But this means confessing the one sin that has haunted her for yearsâ the one sin that could drive Malcolm away forever.
In Tomorrow and Always, best-selling author Rachel Ann Nunes has crafted another dramatic and emotional novel about heartache, hope, and one woman's urgent desire for forgiveness.
Rachel Ann Nunes (pronounced noon-esh) learned to read when she was four and by seventh grade knew she was going to be an author. Now as a stay-at-home mother of seven, it isn't easy to find time to write, but she will trade washing dishes or weeding the garden for an hour at the computer any day! Her only rule about writing is to never eat chocolate at the computer. "Since I love chocolate and writing," she jokes, "my family might never see me again."
Rachel has over sixty published books, including the popular Ariana series and the award-winning picture book Daughter of a King. She enjoys hiking, swimming, spending time with her family, reading, and visiting far off places.
Karissa and Malcolm seem to have it all—successful careers, a beautiful home on Kodiak Island in Alaska, but behind closed doors their marriage is falling apart. After years of being married, they still have been unable to have children. When the miracle happens for them, wilting love revives and blooms…but complete happiness still eludes Karissa because of a terrible secret in her past…a secret so terrible she is afraid she will lose Malcolm if he ever discovers the truth about her. Great book that touches on sensitive subjects like infertility, forgiveness, etc.
It's difficult to think that anyone would choose to have an abortion especially someone raised in the church. I was glad that Karrisa and Malcolm could come to terms with their grief and finally forgive each other. This book dealt with some really hard gospel issues. I was delighted to know that Brionney and Jesse finally got their twin boys! I like those two a lot.
A great book. The themes of forgiveness and love were very well addressed. Abortion is a difficult subject, and Nunes kept it real. I was captivated by this story.
