About this listen
A novelization of the upcoming film from the director of God's Not Dead, God Bless the Broken Road is a heartwarming story about a grieving army widow who finds her way back to her daughter, her faith, and a new love.
Amber Hill never imagined she would find herself a war widow and single mom. She feels robbed and is angry at God, and she doesn't know how to help her nine-year-old daughter Bree through her grief. Where, Amber wonders, are the Sunday dinners, the picnics, the bike rides, the time together they should be enjoying as a family? Instead, Amber is left with a folded flag and an empty heart.
Cody Jackson has a death wish. Or at least that is what his manager thinks, as Cody pushes his race car and his luck in every race. Is he hiding something, or just daring God and other racers to end the path of destruction he finds himself on as he rounds the last turn? When Cody encourages Bree to join in a Derby car race for local youth, she finds a way to channel her grief into something good - and she likes that her mom and Cody are starting to become friends - or maybe something more.
Cody invites Amber and Bree to see him race, but as they watch Cody narrowly escape a devastating crash, she realizes she can't lose another person in her life. It's better to be alone than feel that type of grief again. But when Amber hits rock-bottom, she cries out to God and asks for help. With her faith, her life, her family, and her heart hanging in the balance, Amber is forced to decide between the broken road she knows so well and trusting that God will provide a new path.
Based on the Rascal Flatts song, God Bless the Broken Road is a moving, heart-stirring story about the power of faith to change a life.

Nestled on the Oregon coast is a small town of rocky beaches and rugged charm. Locals love the land’s unspoiled beauty. Developers see it as a potential gold mine. When newcomer Hank Cooper learns he’s been left an old friend’s entire beachfront property, he finds himself with a community’s destiny in his hands. Cooper has never been a man to settle in one place, and Thunder Point was supposed to be just another quick stop. But Cooper finds himself getting involved with the town. And with Sarah Dupre, a woman as complicated as she is beautiful.

In one second, my life disappeared. My past. My memories. My future. The only certainty I have from the last three years is that my older brother is dead and that I am the only eyewitness. In order to protect the case, the lawyers demand no one give me any information about my life...I must remember on my own. My only help comes from my brother’s best friend and world-renowned investigative reporter Spencer Cross. He has no idea how many nights I’ve spent dreaming of his name—and his body—next to mine. Each day we spend together, I find it harder to want my old life back.

A Stressful Story
I did not like this book! In my mind the characters who were supposed to be supporting this widow had no redeeming qualities. As a Christian believer and a widow myself with a daughter I personally would have punched a couple of those characters at more than one place in the book. And no one ever has the right to remove a child from their parents without legal process. The fact that this was seen as acceptable by the other characters apparently the author is disgusting.I found it very stressful to listen to the actions of these characters being justified. And I would not recommend this book. It felt a little like it was written by someone who did not do their research about actual grieving and supportive community. Thank God I never endured what this grieving wife did at the hands of her judge mental friends and relatives, and had wise council to remove toxic people from my life! And for those who do make it to the end...walking int a church one time does not erase all of the problems!
