SAVING GRAYSON by CHRIS FABRY - REVIEWED

RELEASE DATE NOVEMBEER 7, 2023 REVIEW: Readers first encounter Grayson, who can't remember why
he's sitting in his garage with a nail gun in his hand and wearing boxer
shorts. The novel depicts the struggle for Grayson, his wife, and others who
love him in an effort to capture the stress of loving someone who is slipping
away .

This gripping, heartbreaking novel explores dementia and
Grayson’s last-ditch effort to solve a puzzle. I enjoyed how the author crafted
a compelling narrative that compels readers to accompany Grayson as he
investigates a murder and learns the truth about his own past. In an effort to
remember the truth, Grayson is searching for it and is trying to capture it as
quickly as possible in an attempt to remember it. Being a writer, he is
disturbed that words aren’t coming to him as easily as they used to. This creates
a compelling storyline. I was drawn to this story because it’s not your usual
tale on this topic.

I liked what the author said about his book, “My hope is
that the reader will see their own life through this story and, instead of
avoiding pain, will embrace pain as much as possible to allow God access with
his transforming power.”

This is an engaging novel that deals with dementia, facing
your fears and has a mystery to solve. Grayson is a writer and is exasperated
by the fact words don’t flow through him like they used to. This aspect of the
story drew me in. Saving

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.

Convinced of the importance of his mission, he embarks on a journey to the
small West Virginia town of his childhood hoping he can put together the
fractured pieces of his memory and set things right. But as the past becomes more
clear, he wonders if God forgives the sins he can’t remember.

A thought-provoking story with challenging themes, this book deals with issues
like ·        what
it’s like to care for a loved one with memory loss, ·        how to
live when you feel like you’re losing yourself, ·        what
it is that gives value to a human life, and ·        the
eternal power of forgiveness and second chances. ·         



























Saving
Grayson  is a wrenching yet hopeful story of a journey to
right unknown wrongs and of holding on to what you know even when it feels like
everything is slipping away.
