Description
Rowan Slone has left her dysfunctional, violent past behind. College is looming on the horizon, she has a new job that she loves, and a safe place to call home. Rowan is close to achieving everything she’s ever wanted—a sense of family, a sense of purpose, and a sense of self. But there are cracks in Rowan’s life as relationship issues threaten to send her future crumbling to the ground. When her long-held secret is discovered, Rowan must find the courage to fight for the most important thing yet—herself.

Rowan is a young girl that starts a new life on her own just in time for college. Everything seems to be falling into place for her, but the past always comes back to haunt you. A Life Forward is a tale of a young woman learning to be strong and independent while fighting her past demons. This is a great read, especially for lovers of books with a strong female lead. I would recommend to anyone.

A story based on a realistic problem with a good solid positive ending being as happily ever after as it could be. A quick read that leads us to have empathy and hope for Rowen, age eighteen, as she battle a past of cutting because of a mother and father that never seemed to love her. She has found love in her boyfriend's family that has taken her in this last year of high school and a wonderful guidance counselor who is very supportive. They promote love and forgiveness. She also has a friend, Jess, who is pregnant and they both become support for each other, even getting an apartment together. A story full of love, hope and compassion and some leaning on God.

Thank you to @bhc.press @tracyhewittmeyer and @netgalley for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this book, I didn’t realise it was part of a series until I logged it on goodreads.
This shows how well the book was written, and that the back story was explained to the reader.
I really like Rowen as a character. She was portrayed as a strong person considering the issues she had faced, but I did feel she was slightly annoying as she seemed weak when it came to how her boyfriend treated her.
I feel that as an young adult book, it covered the topics well, they were well written, without skimming over, just because the audience may be younger.
I look forward to reading the other books in the series
