Review of Everlasting Love by Latisha Sexton
Everlasting Love by Latisha Sexton is a Christian friends to love story that shows how God can take the broken things of this world and piece them together for something beautiful.
This story follows the life of Nora Burnham whose mother died when she was only four. She was left with letters from her mom for each of her birthdays through her 18th and she hopes to discover who her father is through them. Hard things from her mom’s past are tackled including addictions and pregnancy outside of marriage. We see how they have ripple effects in the future which sets the stage for an emotional journey.
The book jumps back-and-forth in time as we get to see Nora reading through many of her birthday letters from her mom. We find that her best friend, Kip Green, is there for Nora through it all. And we see him fall head over heels for his friend. We especially see his feelings for her when he joins her for a road trip to find answers to Nora‘s questions.
I loved the friendship these two had and watching how they encouraged each other and seeing their relationship blossom to more. I also loved the redemption of the things that happened in the first book, Neverending Mercy, and I encourage readers to read it first. This is a beautifully done story that I highly recommend!
Can one letter hold the answers to her past?
Nora Burnham learned the pain of loss at just four years old. Now, the only pieces she has left of her mother are her letters, one for every birthday until she turns eighteen. Every year, Nora eagerly reads her mother’s next letter, secretly hoping she will find the answer to the burning question that has plagued her since childhood . . .
Who is her birth father?
But as her eighteenth birthday comes and goes, Nora refuses to open the last letter, afraid she’ll be left wondering where she came from. When she finally gathers the courage to read her mother’s last words, the revelation stuns her.
After her best friend, Kip Green, offers his support, they embark on a road trip that will change the course of their lives. But will it end in the happily-ever-after they both desire? Or are they destined for more heartache?
