For Jordan
James, it all began with the phone call.
It was from the hospital. She
needed to get there A.S.A.P. Her
husband, whom she loved dearly, had suffered a heart attack. It was imperative that she get there before
it was too late. She had to tell him…
For Jay, it
began on his first day on the job as an EMT.
He had been driving the ambulance.
Saving lives, he’d thought proudly as he glanced over his shoulder at
the patient. Just a mere few seconds had
passed in that glance. And in that brief
frame of time, a tragedy occurred, impacting his life far greater than he ever could
have imagined.
By the time
he turned back, it was already too late.
Ambulance collided with pedestrian and Jay could do nothing to prevent
it. From that point on, Jay and Jordan would
never be the same again. As Jordan lay
in a coma, Jay stays at her side, agonizing over his guilt and unable to carry
on with his life. Both reflect on their
past lives, the good and the bad. What
was and what should have been. It isn’t until Jordan finally wakes from her
coma that all the pieces of their lives come together and they find where they
truly belong.
Someone Always Loved You is a poignant story of a mother and son separated by adoption
only to be reunited after a life-threatening tragedy. The story speaks of
sadness, joy, hope and forgiveness as they each search for that missing piece
within each of them. The story was well written. A few times, the author switched points of view
which I found frustrating. As for the characters, I found them to be a little
too perfect, but likable. All in all, I thought the storyline was touching and worth the
read.
