    my point of view for Valerie’s Verdict by Hallee Bridgeman

    November 18, 2019 in my point of view

    Broken and battered, Valerie comes home and finds a lifetime of love waiting for her.

    Valerie Flynn grew up with the Dixon brothers, never differentiating one more than the other. When she leaves for college, she puts Atlanta and her childhood behind her, ready to make a life for herself somewhere else. An abusive relationship almost destroys her physically and emotionally, and manages to wipe out her relationship with God.

    Since boyhood days, Brad Dixon has always carried a flame for Valerie Her engagement to another man shattered his dreams. When she comes home, battered and bruised, recovering from a nearly fatal relationship, he prays God will use him to help her heal.

    Valerie returns to Atlanta seeking a fresh start, but she finds herself in a strange place. Not only is Brad now her boss, she starts to develop feelings for him. Is it possible she can overcome the past and open herself up to another relationship, or did the damage done to her body and soul permanently take away any chance of happiness and love?

    my point of view:

    This story is amazing! So heart wrenching and true to life, it definitely gives you all the feels. I was so taken with Valerie’s emotional roller coaster – not unlike a lot of my own personal past – that I found myself crying and laughing and gasping for breath at times. Hallee Bridgeman has a way of writing that can take you into the darkest secrets of a woman’s struggles and then shows you the path out – all through God, of course.

    I am so blessed to have found this author, and I truly gobble up everything she writes, but books like this one will stay a part of me forever. The quote above from the story was my mantra for a very – very – long time, and it is so achingly true, that we MUST find ways to forgive ourselves for the mistakes we made in our youth. It took me along time to come to terms with my past decisions, and to forgive myself for them. I wish I had stories like this one when I was much younger to have helped me through those times. I honestly believe that women in any path of life should read this book, it may help you personally through your struggles, and it may help you understand a loved one in your life who has suffered – or is currently struggling – through a time such as Valerie.

    I am so looking forward to more of the Dixon brothers stories!
