Review by Marlene Engel
Life hasn’t been kind to
Samirah. After losing her mother to
cancer and her father walking out on her again, she hides behind the façade of
a party girl to get her through each day.
She knows that her relationship with a married man isn’t the wisest
choice, but she holds on to his promise of leaving his wife to justify her
actions. But the man she loved and the
man he showed himself to be are two completely different people. And when he does the unthinkable, Samirah’s
life will forever be tarnished.
Michael had it all. A great job, an amazing family and a
girlfriend who he was sure would accept the ring that was currently tucked safely
in his pocket. But life can change in
the blink of an eye … As Michael crossed the street, he was struck by a car
that left him paralyzed and his relationship severed. He couldn’t blame his girlfriend for leaving. Not many people could stick it out when they
go from having a perfectly healthy and fully functioning partner, to someone
who had to rely on others for everyday tasks.
Samirah had to get away, but where
does someone go when they have no one?
Catching a bus upstate, she didn’t have a real plan, but anywhere was
better than where she was. When fate
crosses her path with Michael’s, she’s in desperate need of some help and a
friend. And Michael feels like he has purpose
when he is able to offer her assistance, instead of being on the receiving end
for far too long since his accident.
Can a person who is broken in spirit
and another who’s physically broken help heal each other?
This was, by far, one of the best
books I’ve ever read! The emotion that
the author brings just seeps off of the pages.
The story is both heart-breaking and uplifting and stays with you long
after you turned the last page. Sure to
be a bestseller, Live For This is
phenomenal and a book that I would absolutely recommend!
