Today I’m doing a review of the book Never Gone by Laurel Garver.
Laurel is a follower of this site, and her blog laurelgarver.blogspot.com,
is one of my favorites. It is full of practical advice for all those writing a
novel and desiring to see it published.
Never Gone is a
story about a girl who loses her father unexpectedly after an accident. But he doesn’t
die right away. I love that Laurel included that; the grief followed by
forbidden hope- maybe he would make it after all. But he doesn’t. And Deane (the
protagonist) is left staring at the pieces that remain in her life, realizing
that none of them fit. Her journey takes her across the world and into the very
depths of her own soul as she searches for who she can possibly be without the
person who was the anchor in her life.
But is the anchor still there? Deane doesn’t know. It’s
either that or she’s going crazy, because she’s seeing her dad everywhere, and
he’s leading her on what seems like a
pointless goose chase.
And then it isn’t.
I loved the heart
that wrote this story, a heart that has seen grief herself and wanted to use that
experience to point the way to the Truth.
I’ve included the links below to where the book is available
for purchase. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
