Over four years have passed, and still Matthew Doyle can't shake the guilt of turning his back on Ruby, the girl who saved his life. As much as he's tried to avoid returning home to Hanceville, Alabama, he must do so in order to complete his service with the Tennessee Valley Authority, helping to establish electricity throughout the county. But Ruby continues to haunt his dreams, and the only way to move on is to seek her out and make things right. Tracking Ruby down leads Matthew back to the Calhoun farm, a place full of memories best left buried. But what he finds there will change his life forever. A man is dead. And Ruby Graves stands accused of his murder. In his quest to prove Ruby's innocence and atone for his past, Matthew must stand against the most powerful influences in the county, including his own father. But doing so may cost him everything, even his faith in God. Can Matthew rebuild Ruby's broken trust in him and save her life in return? Or will the trials he faces leave him broken instead? Breaking Matthew is the sequel to Healing Ruby, a novel set in Depression-era Alabama that explores faith healing, family loyalty, and racial segregation.
My Review:
This was the continuation of an AMAZING story--it was part 2!! It is very clear that the Lord spoke strongly through this book and it impacted my soul a lot as the last book! It is probably one of only a half a dozen fiction books in my whole life that has impacted me that way. The characters were crafted with a lot of depth and complexity, and the narration of the book was incredible!
I voluntarily received a complimentary copy from the author. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
