Author Jody Hedlund has done it yet again! Forever Safe,
a Historical Christian Fiction novel, is the fourth book in the Beacons of Hope
series but never fear for it can be classified as a stand-alone book. The
author does a fabulous job of catching the reader up without going overboard.
The reader will be swept away as the author takes us on a
journey through the lives of two people whose lives intertwine with others.
Victoria grew up in a life of privilege yet it hasn’t kept her free of the
troubles of life. Tom, her reluctant body guard, grew up without the privileges
of life and still struggles with the memories and heartache of the past. He
vows to protect her. She vows not to give him trouble. Will Victoria keep her
end of the bargain? Forever Safe is a page turner, for sure!!
The author does a fabulous job, as always, of bringing the characters to life. Her knack of story-telling keeps the reader more than interested. She paints a beautiful picture through description that has one feeling, seeing and hearing it all.
I was reluctant for it to end but couldn't wait to find
out what happened next. The author sneaked in twists and turns to the very end.
Forever Safe will have the reader contemplating all the little life lessons
after the last word is read. I love when that happens; a book which has me soaking in life's chaos and how it affects me.
There are so, so, so many great quotes from this book like "Some things are beyond our control. You can't be perfect. No one is. That's why we need God." Just one of the many! As well as a wonderful chapter on what it takes for a great marriage. I wrote the author and told her I am marking those pages and sharing it with our son. :) One of my favorites quotes is in the author notes:
...I pray that you'll learn to run to the One who promises to walk beside us through our darkest valleys and fiercest storms. He may not take us out of the valley or storm, but He will hold our hand and stay by our side. With Him, we will be forever safe.
I highly recommend getting this book into your hands as soon as possible. It's that good.
