The Other Side of Goodbye by Heidi McCahanMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
With this story, readers will be taken on the ups and downs of surviving loss and heartbreak and trying to move on and hope for a happy future.
I've met Chase in the novella and understood and felt Tisha’s loss and grief. In her story we could see that everyone has their own pace of letting go and moving forward. I adored her mother-in-law and how she supported Tisha but wanted her to step into God’s future of happiness.
Ethan has to find his way as a single parent and I loved seeing how he grew in this.
Sadie and Brody were adorable but I feel the author pinned their characters down very well. Children who had to deal with the loss of a parent.
This story will take readers on the truest journey of how to let go but still remember and to trust that God has still has a happy future planned.
