"Dear John is an honoree in the 2023 Book Excellence Awards, a global celebration of literary excellence.

This is a captivating story of grace, love, forgiveness, and redemption. You will find answers embedded within these pages if you need help with any of these.

John Batista killed a man, but he doesn't remember doing it. All he knows is he's back home in Israel with his loving wife instead of across the world in Los Angeles. He has a strong inkling that something was amiss during his UK layover. As the gritty reality unfolds and his crime is revealed, John's past, present, and future clash and fall apart. Through it all, he discovers grace like a river, the waters becoming a balm to his fractured mind, making him whole again.

Amid their greatest tragedy, he and his wife discover a redemption story they never thought they needed. It all starts with a priceless trinket that brings death and a letter from a widow that brings John abundant life."

Review:

'Dear John' by Betty Collier

My Sentiments:  

'Dear John' was a captivating 'story of grace,  hope, faith, love, forgiveness, inspirational, and redemption.'  If you choose to read this story, book 2, please read 'The Birthday Gift' book series one first to better understand what happened earlier. The author does an excellent job of bringing the two stories together.

The story will have one turning the pages till the end to see how well this author brings forth an excellent and even sadness... but in all, a good story of saving one's soul. Be ready for a story that will bring in many twists before it ends.   I enjoyed how this story brought out the scripture John 3: 16, which was crucial in understanding that particular symbol that was vital to the story.
