Truly, Madly, Deeply: A Novel Paperback – May 18, 2021

Good read

Just finished the bonus chapter! What a wonderful book! I fried so much for Tommy and Annalees journey. I had to shut the book last night, afraid to finish it, thinking Annalee wasnt going to make it!! As a mom I feared with Tommys mom knowing how scared she was having to let him go and support his choice in life! We prayed over our children at birth knowing they were God's first , and we were just a temporary caretaker. Having lost a child I know that agony. Then when in the bonus chapter reading the marriage ceremony, my memories went back to the day my daughter was married. I love her books and have never been disappointed. This one is one of my top favorites!!!

Karen Kingsbury is one of my favorite authors. This book doesn’t disappoint

Tommy Baxter met Annalee Miller on the first day of high school. Three years later, at the beginning of their senior year, Annalee learns she is sick.Truly, Madly, Deeply by Karen Kingsbury is a stand-alone book associated with the Baxter series. This contemporary romance was heartrending.I purchased a paperback copy of this book.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves to read. You get so caught up and feel the emotions that they are feeling.

We all have life choices that we can fear or allow God to help us surrender toHim. I liked this book because of the examples the author gave of this veryThing.

Excellent bookI would like to have seen them get married in the story lineBut great book KarenBlessings

This book pulls you in right from the start. It is so well written. The story line is a real page turner and the message of the love and acceptance and power of God shines through.

I loved the way the stories weaved together and how it spoke to my heart as I read it. I would highly recommend it especially to those who may be going through a challenging time.

Live that it’s still the same characters and yet you can read it as a stand alone . Very fitting for in our world today. Shared a copy with Frontline workers.
