BOOK REVIEW- JILLIAN'S PROMISE


Army officer Keith Foster has everything a man could possibly want—a successful career, two adorable sons, and a strong marriage. All that changes when he finds himself in the hospital recovering from a gunshot wound. His request to go home to his family is proving impossible. 
According to the doctor, the shooting not only shattered Keith’s body, but it caused him to forget the past seven years of his life. He’s divorced now, his little boys are teenagers, and his wife is dating another man! Keith vows to win back his family and discover the secret that tore them apart in the first place. 
Meanwhile, Jillian Foster has been trying to forget Keith and their turbulent past. After the shooting, she can’t help but feel obligated to help the father of her children recover his memory and restore his health. She’s just not sure what exactly that obligation entails.   AMAZON 4 Stars


A Good Story, that kept me involved. Also a great way to introduce the start of the story.  Normal, loving, family setting as Keith gets ready to deploy.  Then..bam...  Things jump and we are as startled as Keith when its 7 years later.  But his memory doesn't follow and we get to feel some of his confusion right along with him when he wakes up.  Of course we had seen a little bit of Jillian's side of what had happened during the space he can't remember.  The story is raw, emotional with secrets that hurt.  It dares to address some serious issues in a realistic way.   The story is told fom the POV of three people, Jillian, Keith and Lyla.  There were also good secondary people to the story, especially Jillian's family members.  Matt and Drew who are the children of Keith and Jillian, also add to the story of a broken family.  Lyla's story was a surprise but there will be a way to see the reason for her POV when you see where things that happened in the past intersect with the Foster family.  Its also a story of faith in God, told in a realistic way.  Everything is not suddenly all sunshine and roses and there will be pain and obstacles to overcome.
