My Thoughts
Resuming Rowan's story immediately after the heart-stopping conclusion of A Life, Redefined.
A Life, Forward, finds Rowan alone and in flux.
Having chosen to leave the horrors and betrayals of her family behind.
She runs to the safety and stability of the one place that she has ever felt safe.
The home of her boyfriend, Mike.
But with Mike away at college and a seeming greater distance growing in
their relationship by the day.
Rowan realizes that everything that she ever wanted is on the cusp of becoming a
reality.
If that is...she can break the chains of her past to claim the freedom promised in her future.
This is the book where readers are really allowed to see Rowan
come into the sense of self that she needs.
She succeeds in distancing herself from the pain of her past,
and heal old wounds.
She is not only able to accomplish what she needs for herself,
but she is also able to be the support that her best friend needs
as events unfold that change her life forever.
This story is one of hope, perserverence, and the finding the power to believe 
in one's self.
