The Hard Truth About Sunshine - Sawyer B...

Every once in a while you read a book that will really affect you and you can't write the review right away because you need time to process the story. That is what this book did to me. This story is not a typical romance type of story, even though there is a romance. I would probably classify this book as more woman's lit.

A group of 4 individuals are in group therapy for different reasons. Two by choice, two forced by the law. Each person is so different and unique but at the same time they all do have something in common...therapy. Mags is their therapy leader.....loved her!

The story is told from Christopher Barlow's point of view. Christopher is 26 years old and an ex-marine who was wounded in action and lost one of his legs and two fingers over a year ago. To say Christopher is mad at the world is an understatement. He is one of the people being forced into therapy.

Jillian Martel is 21 years old and has depression because of being diagnosed with Kearns-Sayre Syndrome, which means she will eventually be blind. She also has cardiomyopathy because of the eye disease. When Jillian speaks she is always happy and upbeat, something that Christopher is drawn to because of his dark world.

Barb Stiles is 24 years old and looks like a goth chick. She is mad at the world and doesn't talk and is being forced into therapy by the law.

Connor McCann is almost 18 years old and has alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer and only has a few months left to live. He has accepted that he is going to die and wanted to go to therapy just to be around people.

The group has to meet each week and are suppose to discuss their feelings. Christopher and Barb never do. Jillian came up with an idea that the group should go on a week long trip to help cross off many of the things on Connor's bucket list before he dies. Mag's agrees to this and if Christopher and Barb go, they will not have to finish the rest of their weeks of therapy. Both of them reluctantly agree as long as Christopher can drive.

The main story is about the group's trek out west from North Carolina to the Pacific Ocean. They camp and stay in hotels along the way and they slowly start to open up to each other. Some of the things this group did along the way was funny, sweet, swoon worthy and then down right sad. I just adored how they ended up all becoming good friends. Be prepared for a REALLY emotional ride the last 1/4 of the book....I mean a really good cry....but don't let that stop you from reading this story. It was wonderful and I would highly recommend it...tears and all.

The Hard Truth About Sunshine - Sawyer B... I'm struggling.

You see, right now, I'm reading other reviews trying to find words. Readers are using terms such as 'beautiful', 'poignant', 'meaningful', 'unforgettable', 'hopeful'...you get my drift. As each poetic description passes my lips, they taste flat on my tongue. For me, there are no words worthy of how deeply this story touched me.

In fairness, I bared witness to the story unfolding. As other authors will tell you, I am verbal, sometimes bordering on ridiculous, when I comment in pre-release versions. This story engaged my mind, heart and soul. I could barely think of what to say. These characters were so incredible, heartbreakingly so at times. Their story was buried in so many truths we fail to see in our everyday lives. Not only was I touched as a reader, but I knew each one of these characters left a handprint on the hearts of the others.

From this point I can delve into points about the story. But this review is not to promote readers to pick up the story. Other reviews can do that for me. No, this review is to sell the story to Sawyer Bennett fans. There is a common theme in the reviews: This isn't a "typical" Sawyer Bennett story. Gads I hate that turn of phrase. It is a Sawyer Bennett story. This book has the same alluring characterizations, blending of love and hope, and carefully paced storytelling you expect of Ms Bennett's work. My hope is that her fans will open their hearts and minds to maybe something that isn't hockey, legal tussles or sexy men and the women that capture them. My real hope is that these readers will embrace a story you read every once in a while but remember forever.
5++ out of 5 stars

"5 - The Sun Shines It's Warmth on Us Stars"

I would give this book 10 stars if I could!
This book is so beautifully written and the story told so well.
I got lost and fell in love with these four amazing characters.
Now I really have to think about how I want to write this review because I'm I a freaking mess right now.


Beautiful story!
** If you do take the opportunity to read his wonderful book, please take the time to read the acknowledgment at the end to see why the author was inspired to write this book.
Your an inspiration to me Ms. Sawyer just by reflecting on the situation you described that happened to you at the Orlando airport, and what you did about it.
Thank you for your insight and this story.

The Hard Truth About Sunshine
By Sawyer Bennett
Release Day: March 28
Standalone


New York Times bestselling author Sawyer Bennett has written her most gripping and poignant tale yet. Provocatively heart-breaking, audaciously irreverent and romantically fulfilling, The Hard Truth About Sunshine exposes just how very thin the line is between a full life and an empty existence.


Synopsis

An angry, bitter amputee.
An optimist losing her eyesight.
A dying kid.
A suicidal thief.
Four people with nothing in common but their destination.

Despite having narrowly escaped death’s clutches, Christopher Barlow is grateful for nothing. His capacity to love has been crushed. He hates everyone and everything, completely unable to see past the gray stain of misery that coats his perception of the world. It’s only after he involuntarily joins a band of depressed misfits who are struggling to overcome their own problems, does Christopher start to re-evaluate his lot in life.
What could they possibly learn from one another? How could they possibly help each other to heal? And the question that Christopher asks himself over and over again… can he learn to love again?
He’s about to find out as he embarks upon a cross country trip with a beautiful woman who is going blind, a boy with terminal cancer, and an abuse victim who can’t decide whether she wants to live or die.
They will encounter adventure, thrills, loss and love.
And within their travels they will learn the greatest lesson of all.
The hard truth about sunshine…




Warning: This book deals with some tough issues including suicide and sexual abuse.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:



Since the release of her debut contemporary romance novel, Off Sides, in January 2013, Sawyer Bennett has released more than 30 books and has been featured on both the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists on multiple occasions.

A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array of readers. From new adult to erotic contemporary romance, Sawyer writes something for just about everyone.

Sawyer likes her Bloody Marys strong, her martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two. When not bringing fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and personal assistant to a very active toddler, as well as full-time servant to two adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or a combination of the two.
