Title: A Moment of Weakness
Author: Karen Kingsbury
Publisher: Multnomah
ISBN: 1-576-73616-4
Genre: Inspirational/Romance
Tanner Eastman and Jade Connor have
been friends since childhood. Even though distance and circumstance
separates them for over ten years, when they unexpectedly meet again, the
old friendship feelings develop into love.
Jade lives in Oregon, pursuing her
nursing degree and striving to stay out of her alcoholic father’s way.
Tanner comes to town for a summer internship, and despite his interfering
mother's attempts to keep them apart, the two spend a lot of time
together.
It is in those quiet moments their
lives are forever changed. One moment, one weakness, ruined lives.
Misunderstandings follow and another ten years pass before Jade
reluctantly consults Tanner’s Christian law firm when her current husband
launches a shocking and cruel custody battle.
Karen Kingsbury skillfully tackles a
difficult issue. Her writing is warm and real and while she offers no
quick fixes, she does offer hope and points us to the unconditional love
of God. An anonymous quote on the author’s web-site says, “Anyone who has
ever sinned, should read this book.”
