From #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury comes a
"heart tugging and emotional" story in the Baxter Family collection that
will "touch readers deeply" (RT Book Reviews) featuring two people who
lost their parents in the same national tragedy--two people desperate to
find each other and the connection they shared for a single day...that
changed everything.
Brady Bradshaw was a child when the Oklahoma City bombing killed his
mother. Every year, Brady visits the memorial site on the anniversary to
remember her. Eleven years ago on that day, he met Jenna Phillips, who
was also a child when her parents were killed in the attack. Brady and
Jenna shared a deep heart connection and a single beautiful day together
at the memorial. But after that, Brady never saw Jenna again. Every year
when he returns, he leaves a note for her in hopes that he might find
her again.
This year, Ashley Baxter Blake and her sister Kari Baxter Taylor and
their families take a spring break trip that includes a visit to the
site to see the memorial's famous Survivor Tree. While there, Ashley
spots a young man, alone and troubled. That man is Brady Bradshaw. A
chance moment leads Ashley to help Brady find Jenna, the girl he can't
forget.
Ashley's family is skeptical, but she pushes them to support her efforts
to find the girl and bring them together. But will it work? Will her
husband, Landon, understand her intentions? And is a shared heartache
enough reason to fall in love?
With *To The Moon and Back "*Kingsbury skillfully weaves a tale of
divine love" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) in an unlikely love
story about healing, redemption, hope, and the belief that sometimes a
new tomorrow can grow from the ashes of a shattered yesterday.
"Kingsbury writes with seemingly effortless poetic elegance, capturing
the tender, intimate moments of daily family life as well as
heart-wrenching flashbacks to fatal tragedy. A moving story of survival,
of faith, and of beauty from the ashes" (Booklist).
