Best Is Yet To Come by Debbie Macomber - Audio version

 Best Is Yet To Come



by Debbie Macomber

Audio Version

Best is Yet to Come is one of those stories that we all 

can connect to. They say that every person makes their

way into your life for one of two reasons. They either are

here to teach you something or to learn something 

from you. It seemed like this whole story was full of 

situations proving this. 


Hope and Cade each are trying to find a way through

their personal struggles. Then along comes Shadow.

A dog also living with struggles.



It's not just the three of them learning the hardest of

life lessons. But the other people in Oceanside, 

Washington. Everyone is connected. 


If you have ever read Debbie Macomber, you know how 

much heart and love and life you will find in her stories.

If you choose the audio version of Best is Yet to Come,

you will get to hear Therese Plummer. One of the best

narrators ever. So you really do not want to miss the

chance to get in on this story. 


I bought my copy from Audible.com.

The Lucky One - Movie review

The Lucky One
A Movie Review
Released in 2012
Starring Zac Efron &
Taylor Schilling

I read this story before going to see the movie.
It was my first and only Nicholas Sparks books.
I was not warned ahead of time that his stories are notorious
for their sad endings. Thankfully, the movie was not.
It was close to the book. But I preferred the movie.
Kind of a strange ending but happy.



I have never been a fan of Zac Efron, he is so pretty.
Its really hard to watch him. But he really did a fabulous
job on this one. A brooding, struggling Marine suffering
with ptsd. He is trying to find an angel he thinks saved
his life more than once on the battle field.
I have never seen Taylor Schilling in anything else.
She was perfect for this part. Her grandma is played by
Blythe Danner. Never much cared for her movies in
the past but she was perfect for this role and did a
great job.
Its a romantic movie with real actual hard, destructive,
scary, sad, emotional life. Because it winds up the
best possible way, you can only sigh.
