Book Review: Carian Cole "Asher"

"Asher" is a poignant portrait of faith and doubt, love and grief, heartbreak and hope. A pure definition of the word marriage. No marriage can compare to this one. 
"Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it."  ― Nicholas Spark, A Walk to Remember
As I read this book, I often reflected back to this quote.  

It is the ultimate embodiment of "For better or worse". Asher shows what truly means to have devotion and dedication to one person. Even if that person no longer remembers him.

This story is just not about the perfect husband or the triumphed love. 

It is about the raw, difficult, beautiful, heartbreaking, powerful journey that a family must endure to reach some sense of solace and new normalcy. 

I felt everything as it was happening page by page. My heart shaded tears of heartache and frustration and. . .hope. I felt all of it. 

Asher and Ember's love for one another is palpable, and we know the first act of their story of the falling in love but now we must see them as they face various obstacles in their relationship―including some that seems as if they'll end before rekindle-ling any form of a relationship. 

Many emotional wrenching scenes throughout the story that depict the difficult of trying to come to terms with the current situation.At different point, we see Ember crying from the pain.  

"Asher" is an incredible powerful story about faith, but it's also an incredible heartbreaking story. It shows that with a work, dedication, and hope any relationship can be rebuild. 

***I voluntarily read and review an Advance Reader Copy of this book provided by Give Me Books Promotions and Carian Cole.***
