Saving Grayson

Chris Fabry

Key Selling Points:

An inspiring fiction story from the bestselling author of War Room

Summary

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.

Summary

No-nonsense law student Adelaide Smith doesn't believe in fairytales But when she learns she's the daughter of King Maximillian V, the ruler of a small European principality, she's swept into a world filled with family mysteries, royal jealousies, and the possibility of her own happily ever after.

Adelaide Smith is too busy for fairy tales She's been working hard to put herself through law school and now that the end is in sight, she's determined to stay focused on her goals Then she receives a letter notifying her that she has been found through a DNA registry to be a direct descendant of King Maximillian V, the ruler of a small Eastern European principality called Montovia She's understandably skeptical This is the stuff of cheesy made-for-TV movies, not real life

Although the pieces of this surprising family puzzle seem too good to be true, curiosity gets the best of her. At the king's invitation, Adelaide embarks on a Christmas break trip that is chock-full of surprises, including a charming village, an opulent palace, family mysteries, royal jealousies, a handsome young member of Parliament--and the chance at a real fairy tale romance with a happily-ever-after ending
