Description

When Rebekah Lansing met Dr. Richard Moore, her life took a dramatic turn toward what appeared to be a glorious, romance-filled future. 

Then a drunk ran a red light and changed everything. Now, encased in a body that wouldn’t move, her dreams of being loved and cherished and sharing a life with the man she adored had shattered and crashed down around her.

Was there any purpose for her life now?

Would Richard remain at her side or abandon her for someone else? 

How could she be sure of his love? 

And even if he pledged it, did she have the right to hold him to his promise, particularly when she knew there was another woman—healthy and beautiful—waiting in the wings to take her place?

My Review ~

Rebekah Lansing's future was blissful as she carefully planned the perfect wedding, and anticipated her future happiness sharing her life with Dr. Richard Moore. Her life couldn't be better if she had planned it that way. After meeting Richard for lunch she left the restaurant, and awoke in a hospital bed, unable to move or speak. What will become of the love she shares with Richard? Will she ever recover? Is there any hope left for her? She has all the time in the world to think, and her thoughts turn to God. Had she ignored Him as she happily prepared for that perfect day in her life?

In this short story Kathi Macias has touched my heart once again with her ability to evoke such emotion in her writing. This heartbreaking story of beauty and love interrupted by a moment in time brought me to tears. A beautiful young woman with her life ahead of her is broken, body, mind and spirit. This is the view from inside the mind of a beautiful spirit who has lost her body in a horrific and senseless accident. With her mind trapped in a motionless body she can only turn to hope. That hope is the voice of God.
