Bethany House Publishers At the Scent of Water - eBook

Life is rewarding for Samuel Truelove. He's a gifted surgeon, he's married to the love of his life, and he has a beautiful daughter. But when he's called to perform an emergency surgery, a deadly cascade of events is set in motion, and his picture-perfect life begins to unravel.

Annie Truelove, hoping to escape painful reminders of her grief, leaves her beloved home in the mountains of North Carolina and begins a new life in faraway Seattle. But a disturbing headline takes her back home, where memories of both joy and sorrow come flooding back. What will it take to heal two broken hearts?

This is the first & only book (so far) I've read by this author. She does an excellent job with character development. With too many authors I speed read through sections as they take forever to make their point, but I couldn't even skip one sentence with this book. I loved every line. The characters are real, flawed....human. Once I got to the middle of this story, I could not put it down. It hooked me & drew me in until the story was complete. I can't wait to read this author's others books & I am hoping they are as good.

This was my first book by Linda Nichols and I enjoyed the depth of character development with each individual. The lives of all were affected directly by each other and this was quite obvious throughout. The only criticism I have is that its a very sad book. For that reason, I couldn't pick it up as quickly as some others.

I love this book, you really get to know the folks and their families. I am almost finished and hoping the author will write another story with Annie and Sam. This story shows how God is working in our lives, even if it doesn't seem that way to us. You will like this book.

Sam Truelove is a surgeon gifted by the hand of God. He has begun a wonderful, dream filled life with his wife Annie and their daughter Margaret, until tragedy strikes and the life of their precious baby is gone. In that same moment as Sam is in surgery, he decides to stay with his patient, finish his surgery before going home. He feels as though he can save the little girl in front of him, only God had a different plan. There is anger, pride, pain and fear in them both, and it takes hold of them until their marriage is slipping away. Both still loving each other, but trying to move on, only they cannot move on until they come to terms with the past that haunts them. Each year Sam invites Annie to dinner, in hopes of renewing their marriage to what it once was. Although Annie so wants to go, she is fearful that Sam hasn't yet let go of the man he has become, she turns him down, but each year there was a sweet elderly woman celebrating her birthday with friends. She noticed him each year as he noticed her too, only never saying anything until this night, when the sweet woman goes over to pray with Sam, giving him words from the Lord. Never giving up, Sam keep trying to save his marriage, as Annie still holds so much love for him. Love and forgiveness bring them back together. Healing comes in time, and blessings come to their lives. This is a beautifully written story that captures your heart, and takes you right there in the midst of their pain, and with the hope of Christ, we see how He works to bring their love whole again. I loved this book. It flowed, it speaks right to your heart and teaches us to never give up, to always go to that call when the Lord is asking us to move. The prayers of this sweet woman were answered, only because of her great faith in the Lord and to obey Him. This book was a gift from Bethany House Publishing for the review of its contents.

What a good read. I found it hard to put down. It showed me how we are to give our problems to God and let him fix them in his own way and time.
