Emotional Rescue by The Rolling Stones would be a great backdrop for this amazing debut novel!
I absolutely loved every word! So well written and the characters are so real and relatable.
The storyline was sad, yet refreshingly new. Do not miss out on this entangled group of friends and family that struggle with deep love, loss and new beginnings.
Finding Grace by Loretta Rothschild is an emotionally charged novel and moving love story about one’s choices and consequences. Honor’s seemingly perfect life begins to fracture after a devastating event alters her family’s future. Years later, a life changing decision by her husband sets off a ripple effect that entwines the lives of two women in unexpected and heart wrenching ways. The plot is full of twists in this poignant page turner that explores loss and redemption. I loved the characters and their flawed yet compelling stories and struggles. Definitely a thought provoking book that will tug at your heartstrings. I look forward to reading more novels by this author!
Finding Grace by Loretta Rothschild has tragedy from the start. As the story develops, and the truth is revealed more tragedy ensues. I found this book difficult due to the vulgar language. The 'f' bomb is dropped frequently. I also feel the title is misleading.
Releases June 10th. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
The beauty of Finding Grace lies in its ability to intertwine heartbreak and hope. The characters are so deeply human, their emotions so tangible, that by the end of the book, you’re left reflecting on your own life, the choices you’ve made, and the ones you still might make. This isn’t just a romance; it’s a story of loss, second chances, and the quiet power of love to heal and transform. It’s both haunting and profound. It echoes in your thoughts and tugs at your heart for days to come. If you want a read that will make you think, feel, and remember, Finding Grace is a must.
What a story. It’s one of those tales that crystallizes early in the novel and burrows into your brain, forever immortalized by a shocking event that leaves a lasting impact.
The story begins with Honor, a woman who seems to have it all—a loving husband and a beautiful daughter. Yet, despite her perfect life, Honor feels an unshakable emptiness, a sense that her family is incomplete. She becomes consumed by the idea of having another child, and the struggles she faces along the way are all-consuming. The journey is fraught with heartache—failed attempts, dashed hopes, and a long list of setbacks. Eventually, she and her husband turn to surrogacy as their last hope, a decision that feels like a final chance to fulfill the dream that Honor so desperately clings to. Honor’s story takes a heartbreaking turn, leaving her husband, Tom, to pick up the pieces of their shattered dreams.
The novel explores themes of love, grief, and the complexities of human connection. It’s a true romance, but it’s also much more than that—a contemporary story that delves into the intricacies of relationships, the choices we make, and the secrets we keep. The characters are richly drawn, their emotions raw and genuine, making their journey all the more poignant. The tension builds as Tom navigates his growing feelings, torn between the desire to be honest and the fear of what the truth might do to the delicate balance they’ve found.
What makes this story so powerful is its ability to blend heartbreak with hope, to show that even in the face of unimaginable loss, love has a way of finding its way back. It’s a story that lingers in your thoughts long after you’ve finished reading, a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the enduring nature of love.
If you’re looking for a book that will pull at your heartstrings, challenge your emotions, and stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page, this is it. Finding Grace is incredibly memorable—both a beautiful romance and a profound exploration of loss and new beginnings.
