I received an email from Kregel about this novel. When I read it, I’ll be sure to post about it on my blog. It sounds good! Read the storyline below:
From Kregel:
“John Allen had come back to say goodbye. But he was too late; there would be no atonement.”<\/p>\n

John Allen returns to his hometown after the death of his alcoholic, abusive father. He has been gone 16 years and has become a successful writer, but with major addiction problems of his own. Now he struggles to make amends with his careworn sister and dropout younger brother-and, perhaps, to pick up the pieces of his teenage love affair with Jessie.<\/p>\n

But Jessie has grown tired of waiting for letters that ceased to come, and has married. At what cost might their love be rekindled.<\/p>\n

An exquisitely written, passionate and thoughtful novel, this is a classic love story framing deeper themes of morality and passing time, the true nature of faith, and the delicate balance of human relationships.<\/strong><\/em>

Sounds like a good read, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n
