Saving Grayson by Chris FabryMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
This was a beautiful but heavy/difficult story to read.
Readers meet Grayson at present day, where we see his challenges with Alzheimer and how it affects his current relationships. But we also meet past Grayson through his memories and road trip with a character who seems to be connected to Grayson but not definitive confirmed until the end.
The author did a great job of handling difficult topics in a sensitive way.
This was a story about consequences, regrets, reconciliations and above all forgiveness. Especially for those who remember when Grayson does not.

An inspiring fiction story from the bestselling author of War Room
Grayson Hayes doesn’t remember things as well as he used to, but he’s sure his time is running out. Diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s, he realizes he has a small window of time left to right a terrible injustice—he just can’t remember what it is.
