Fiction Full of Faith

my point of view for We Go On by Regina Walker

June 12, 2020 in my point of view

Warning: This book deals with loss by suicide and the grief a family endures.

Life has been comfortable for the Miller family. Liz and Josh have devoted their lives to raising their two sons. Their oldest son, Colby, reached adulthood and set out on his own. A few hard knocks sent him back to live with Mom and Dad, until life got to be too much, that is. As Liz and Josh grapple with the hole in their hearts left by Colby’s early departure from this world, they find themselves at odds with one another and with their faith.

Will they remember that Jesus is enough in the middle of this dark storm? Will they see through their own pain and help each other and their teenage son, Tyler, learn to live despite the grief?

my point of view:

I don’t know if I can come up with the right words to tell you all how powerful this book is. The emotional highs and lows the author takes you on is so inspiring it will bring you to your knees. I am rather shocked to learn this is the authors first book, it is extremely well written, and you are swept away from the very first page.

The trials this family goes through is absolutely heartbreaking, but seeing how each family member deals with grief is powerful in so many ways. While I am blessed, and thank God daily, that I have never experienced what the Miller family has in this story, I know that this tragedy happens every single day to families all over the world. No one is immune to the heartbreak they suffer.

One of the things I found most intriguing is how the story takes you into the point of view for all three family members, Liz, Josh and their teenage son, Tyler. We all deal with grief in different ways in in our own stages, but seeing a family going through the same tragedy is fascinating. You all know I love a good romance, and while this story is not really a romance, there is a beautiful thread throughout it while Liz and Josh deal with their grief and hurt…guilt and blame…and their faith in God to find their way back to each other. I highly encourage you to take chance on this new author and her first book, just have your tissues near by!

  1. I love finding new-to-me authors! You never know when you might discover a true gem.

  2. Wow, this book sounds like a Must read book for all. Regina Walker is a new to me author. I take a chance of a brand new author to me book because of what the book is about, after I read a snippet of it and if it sounds interesting to me. Thank you for the chance.

  3. I really like finding new to me authors, and your post makes me want to read this one! Also, the fact that there have been two suicides in my extended family, two on the street I live on, and others that I know about, makes me want to read this.

  4. I have actually done this before, but it was for someone I personally knew. The topic was one of interest and I wanted to show my support.

    As for a stranger, if the topic was one of interest, the fact that it was their first book wouldn’t deter me from choosing to read it.

  5. It’s all about the topic! I’ll also be more inclined to give a new author a try if I’ve read a recommendation.

  6. 1. A cover 2. Genre 3. Synopsis 4. Recommendation
    These are 4 things that will draw me to a new author though not particularly in this order.
