Review of TO THE MOON AND BACK by Karen Kingsbury

Christian fiction that is available now at your local bookseller

This was a fantastic book about a couple of young people who were strongly affected by the Oklahoma City bombing. Brady was only five when his mom was killed there, using her body to protect his so that he was a survivor. Jenna was the same age, but she was safely ensconced with her grandmother when both her parents were killed during the terrorist attack. They meet one year at the memorial site and have an instant connection. This is the moving story of their struggle to forgive and to move on from the bombing, with God as the center of their lives. The Baxters get involved when Ashley decides to try to bring the two of them together. I loved that Brady was a hero firefighter and Jenna was a successful teacher. I recommend this book for anyone who wants a tale with realism, drama and an ending that isn’t a surprise, but it is so heartwarming that you will be happy to have read it.
