After All

After All

by Deborah Raney

About the book (from the back cover): 

Eighteen months after the tragic Grove Street Fire took the life of her husband, David, and four other heroic firefighters, Susan Marlowe thinks she's finally beginning to heal.

But then she discovers that David carried a secret to his grave. A secret that changes everything she thought their marriage had been. For the sake of their sons, can Susan forgive the unforgivable?

Andrea Morley lost her closest friend in the fire. But she has no right to mourn him. Instead, she must forever grieve in silence—because her dearest friend was someone else's husband.

Peter Brennan carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. As Hanover Falls' fire chief, he was responsible for the brave firefighters who lost their lives that awful November night.

Can he ever shake the feeling that he should have somehow prevented the tragedy?

As he tries to rebuild the team at Clemens County's Station 2, it seems he might find comfort in the arms of the woman he least expected.

I loved the first two books in this series, Almost Forever and Forever After. I am happy to say that After All is a great ending to this series. Some situations got resolved that I wasn't expecting, and I enjoyed reading about the characters from the other books. The one thing that bothered me about the book was the cover. I thought Susan's eyes looked strange. But that was easily resolved, as I didn't have to look at the cover for very long when I had it open! I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading Christian inspirational fiction, with a bit of suspense. I rate this one a "5."
