He thought he’d found the thrill of his life; she, the romance she hadn’t dared to hope for. Falling in love had been easy. Being married? Totally different story.
Married within a year of meeting, Ethan and Brandi add a foster daughter to their newly established family. Their story is enchanting—inspiring. Except when the fairytale fails. The stresses of unmet expectations and wounds from their pasts knife into their marriage, severing what they believed would be forever.
Hope for a broken marriage. Healing for their wounded spirits. It would take both to find evergreen. Are they brave enough to try?
My take:~
When people claim Christian Fiction is superficial and unrealistic, they have not discovered Jennifer Rodewald and her Grace Revealed series. Finding Evergreen is an authentic, insightful, and confronting look at a marriage in crisis. When the bloom of first love and romantic attraction diminishes between Ethan and Brandi, as they wrestle with the flip side of opposites attracting, their hearts and souls are wounded, both believing beyond repair. This story is compelling and rich in the realities of a marriage burdened by the pressure of a difficult foster child, Ethan’s pursuit of a dangerous career, and Brandi’s rigid and driven personality. Redemption and forgiveness are hard fought in this story, with raw emotion bleeding from the page. Finding Evergreen is highly deserving of the investment of time and emotion!

Very moving book! I’m still trying to write my review on it. I’m a reader, not a writer, and it’s hard for me to do it justice. Jen’s a very talented author, and she’s not afraid to tackle the hard stuff!
