Summary:
Heath Masters is the county sheriff in eastern Oregon, and
when he meets his new neighbor Meredith Kenyon he senses she running from
something and is lying about her past. He suspects that she may be running from
an abusive husband.
About to lose her daughter in a child custody case, Meredith
transformed from a city widow to a small town single mom. She’s trying to run from her abusive late
husband’s manipulative father.
My Thoughts:
I never read anything by Catherine Anderson, but when I read
the synopsis on the back of this book it sounded like it would be intriguing,
and it sure was. I was up until two in the morning last night reading this
book. I was not able to put it down until I finished it.
Catherine Anderson weaved a story not only of romance but a
tale of Domestic Violence, giving us a glimpse of what battered women deal with
and the things they do to survive. I really admired the character of Meredith
and how she fought to not be a victim anymore, but to be a survivor. As she
finally tells Heath her story, the reader is able to see what a strong woman
Meredith truly is.
I gave Forever After four stars and a grade of B because it
resembled what life is like for most women, and as I got into the heart of the
book I could not put it down. I believe Anderson did a fantastic job on this
book. If you already like Catherine
Anderson books, or if you are looking for a book about a woman who overcomes
such adversities to become a stronger person then I recommend Forever After by
Catherine Anderson.
