Twelve Months - Steven Manchester (Review & Giveaway!)
4 Stars!
ABOUT THE BOOK -
Don DiMarco has a very good life – a family he loves, a comfortable
lifestyle, passions and interests that keep him amused. He also thought
he had time, but that turned out not to be the case. Faced with news
that might have immediately felled most, Don now wonders if he has time
enough. Time enough to show his wife the romance he didn’t always lavish
on her. Time enough to live out his most ambitious fantasies. Time
enough to close the circle on some of his most aching unresolved
relationships. Summoning an inner strength he barely realized he
possessed, Don sets off to prove that twelve months is time enough to
live a life in full.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR -
The relationship between him and his wife is very sweet. but it made me wonder if my own hubby would ever do those things for me? He is very sweet and thoughtful, but I don't know if he would go that far. I would like to think that he would be that selfless in his last months.
I also loved the relationship and interactions between them and the grandchildren. I thought it was wonderful that when he found out he was dieing he wanted to spend as much time with the grand-kids as possible, even when it totally wore him out.
THE ALL-IN-ALL -
I know this book is fiction, but it read very much like a memoir to me. A very sweet, tender, kinda sad, heartwarming, Christian/Spiritual easy-reading book. This book really makes you look at your own life and decisions.

Thank you Steven Manchester for sending me this wonderful book to read and review!
What a lovely post! It has made me think this morning-what would I do? I would want to say goodbye to family & friends, Hubs & I have always talked about cruising the Inner Passage in Alaska...
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to sit here and think about it, I really don't have a clue!
Ha! My hubby and I have always wanted to go to Alaska!
DeleteI'm getting up there in years and don't know what I'd do in that situation. I don't even want to think about it! Talk about having my head in the sand...
ReplyDeleteWell, it is a hard thing to think about really!
DeleteCan anyone teach my husband how to give his wife the romance she wants. I cannot get through to him after 33 years of marriage. If I win, I will review the book too.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I know what yo mean! My hubby gets romantic once in a while but...
DeleteI am trying to do things now while I am still healthy. Hubby and I are doing a pilgrimage at the end of June.
ReplyDeleteOh lucky you, thats great! Do you know where you are going? Is it planned, or are you just gonna wing it?
DeleteI just read this last weekend, and loved it as well. My review will be up next week. It's funny that you and I are reading and reviewing the same books around the same time. I remember we read A Lovely, Indecent Departure around the same time, too.
