Book Review: Every Friday, a postcard.

Every Friday, a love poem.

Every Friday for sixty years.

Adam Colby is jsut doing his job, sorting through the Alexander belongings remaining after the estate sale. He is unprepared for what he finds in an old photo album, overlooked by the bargain hounds and treasure hunters--six decades of postcards and poems from Gabe Alexander to his wife, Pearl. The mystery of the Alexanders' love entices Adam, a man unhinged by divorce and puzzled by the depth of commitment that he finds in the unabashedly romantic cards.

Forever Friay invites you to travel back in time to the early twentieth century Texas Coastal Bend where a young couple--Gabe and Pearl Alexander--are swept up in a miraculous love. As the heartwarming, pulse-quickening story of their relationship develops through Gabe's poems, the Alexanders reveal a new way to consider what it means to be truly devoted to each other. Could the secrts of their love affair, laid to rest twenty years ago, hold the key to one man's future?

My Review:

I found this book to be one of the most unbelieveably intriguing books that I have ever read. From the first page, it had me already on board being swept up in the passion of the story. Do you believe in love at first site? You will after this book! Do you believe in destiny? Once again, a yes with this book. When Adam wants to dig into the story of the Alexanders, you are taken on journey back to another time, when things were simple and lovely. When true love was still a box that could be opened every day to reveal a new gift! This story gave me hope, in my own lovely marriage that romance does indeed still exist no matter how long you have been married and can very much continue until the final days of life. Would love to see this in movie form! Timothy Lewis has become a new favorite author of mine...what a wonderful read!
