Inside the Book

Title: One-Way Ticket Home
Author: K.C. Hardy
Publisher: Casbury Lane Press
Pages: 262
Genre: Christian Inspirational Fiction
Days before boarding the plane to Italy for her daughter’s wedding, Julie Whitaker receives an unexpected phone call from her past. The memory of Mark Jennings, a handsome and charming Top Gun pilot, had haunted her for decades. Their fairy tale wedding was everything she’d ever dreamed of, but it quickly turned into her worst nightmare.
Starting a new a life without Mark proved to be much harder than Julie had imagined. But in her darkest hour, God revealed Himself in a miraculous way, giving her the strength she needed not only to battle depression, but to face a diagnosis of breast cancer that threatened to cut her life short.
Now, amidst the splendor of the Italian Alps, on the eve of her daughter’s wedding, Julie’s thoughts are catapulted back to Mark and the reason for his call.  After thirty years, will Julie have a chance to see him once again? And would she even want to?
Based on true events, One-Way Ticket Home will take you on an unforgettable journey of love, loss, hope and forgiveness. With grace, candor and an indomitable wit, K.C. Hardy reminds us that it is often in our darkest hours, that the strength of the human spirit shines the brightest.

MY THOUGHTS

Have you ever gotten a phone call or run into someone who you thought you had thankfully forgotten.? Then you see or hear from them and those old memories and hurts come back. The author gives us a once in a life time fairy tale wedding that should be remembered with fond memories. BUT, this one took a turn for the worst, it was a NIGHTMARE! Mark Jennings, a lady's man, TOP GUN pilot was to marry Julie Whitaker but what happened? Julie had suffered from depression, breast cancer and didn't think she would make it. But when it seemed hopeless, her faith in God came to her. That was the past and now she is getting ready to fly to her daughter's wedding in Italy in a few days. Now nightmare came back. Why did Mark call Julie after all this time? This story is about love, losing faith, losing love and then gaining hope and learning how to forgive. That's a lot for anyone to undertake. It takes a lot of faith to do these things. Sometimes things that happen to us, put us in a deep dark hole and somehow we can't find a way out. Our hope and dreams are gone. Along with it goes our will and strength to go on. Life isn't bright. Life isn't worth it. If this has happened to you. Please read this book. It may give you insight that you do have strength. You have to draw on it and rely on God to help you. This isn't a sugar coated story. It's life and the sometimes terrible things we go through. It makes us stop and think about our faith in God and maybe we need to renew that faith. Strength comes out of need and need comes out of loss. A mother and daughter team is a good compliment to each other in the writing of this book. You can visualize the blond mother and daughter. I can see the look on the mother's face as she is going through the depression, the cancer. It isn't pretty, but as I said it's life. This book will leave a lasting impression.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the authors and PUYB in exchange for my unbiased and honest review

I would give this book 4 STARS.
