Poignant Tale of Loss and Love
Lisa and Joe
Kendall’s marriage falls apart after their ten year old son dies in a car
accident. Joe spends all his time at work and is considering a divorce so Lisa
can move on with her life. Lisa wants to save their marriage, so convinces Joe
to take the Alaskan cruise they had booked and paid for as a treat for Cody,
who loved orcas. Joe agrees, on condition that Lisa doesn’t come too. But she
does …
True North is a
poignant and bittersweet story of two people lost in grief. Not only of their
inability to share and work through their grief and how that has destroying
their relationship, but how their loss has also affected their relationship
with God.
Losing a child must
be one of the toughest challenges a parent ever has to face, and True North
shows that anguish well. It’s a different kind of romance, the story of two
damaged people learning how to cope, how to reconnect.
It’s a difficult
subject, and one that is handled well. The two main characters are frustrating
in how believable they are, while the minor characters provide both some light
relief and impetus for some decisions. The writing is very good, and while this
isn’t a subject everyone is going to be comfortable with, True North is worth
reading.
