My review today is on the Christian novel, We Go On. I was sent this book to read. The review is all my own. I liked the book. It is well written, heartbreaking, and heartwarming. It was kind of hard to read because I went through the death of a child. My daughter was bi-polar and tried to commit suicide more times than I can count. I have seen the inside of every mental ward in the state of Nebraska. The ironic part is the drug that finally killed her was purely accidental and at a time when she had got her life turned around and was doing well. A shock to me just like to this mother. We do have to go on.
Elizabeth Miller comes home from buying groceries only to find her twenty-one year old son hanging from a tree in the back yard. She manages to cut the rope and call for help. Her son is alive when he is taken to the hospital but dies soon after. Liz blames God for her son's death she also blames herself for not being there for him.
Josh Miller rushes home to find his son alive but in bad shape. He tries to be there for his wife but he can't seem to console her. He calls family and the pastor come and prays with them. He is convinced God will save him. The doctors rear if he survives he will never be able to function. After his death Josh tries to care for his wife and son but it seems to be of no affect. He can't help but blame Cody.
Sixteen year old Tyler Miller goes through all the funeral and trying to pick up the pieces of his family. He blames himself for not being with his brother that night. He had snuck out to party with his friends. He tries to get his mom to come back to life with them. It's a hard struggle as she refuses to function.
A terrible journey through the valley of the shadow of death. God has a plan to bring this family back together. A plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you too, a good plan and not for evil.
