Just 18 Summers by Michelle Cox

Just 18 Summers by Michelle Cox - A Review

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

After the tragic death of Butch Browning’s wife, Jenny, four families begin to realize how precious—and fleeting—their time together is. Each is at a different stage in life: Butch is facing single parenthood. The O’Reillys are expecting their first child. The Andersons are approaching an empty nest, and the Buckleys are so focused on providing their children with everything that they’ve forgotten what they truly need. With just eighteen summers before their children are grown, how do they make the most of that time when life so often gets in the way?

As summer flies by, each of these parents must learn about guilt and grace . . . and when to hold on to their kids and when to let go.

This book is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Deeper Shopping, Tyndale and other online retailers or your local bookstore.

I received this book from TBCN in exchange for an unbiased opinion. Due to a busy schedule, my friend Starr, who frequently assists me with my reviews, read and reviewed this book.

This is what she had to say:

Just 18 Summers is a very thought provoking novel. It has a very good story that connects 4 families together in their struggle to raise kids, have careers, and keeping their priorities straight. This happens all amidst tragedy and joy. I love the way it is told from the viewpoint of the 7 different parents. I ended up seeing “myself” in all of these characters. There is a part of them we could all probably identify with in some way. A very good and interesting read that will make you laugh, cry, and cringe about life.
