Review: To the Moon and Back

To the Moon and Back To the Moon and Back by Karen Kingsbury
My rating: 💛💛💛

Another emotionally deep novel in the extended Baxter series.

I fell in love with the Baxter family more than 15 years ago, mainly due to their support but also feeling like real people with real issues.

In this book, the lessons of facing a major event in your life and either choosing to hold on to the past and being held captive by emotions, versus moving forward while treasuring memories of the past was a strong point that came through for me.

About the book:


Dear Jenna,
Like I do every year, I wrote you a letter. In case you come to the memorial today. In case you want to find me as much as I want to find you.


It was the beginning of a letter not meant for Ashley Baxter Blake, but somehow she finds herself drawn to it. And to the handsome stranger who left it tucked in a chain-link fence for someone named Jenna. That man is Brady Bradshaw.
