Live Without You
Author: Sarah Grace Grzy
Book Description:
“Piper Redding is a loner, but lonely. Everyone she loves has abandoned her and opening her heart to others is just asking for more pain. She can’t help but blame herself for her brother’s tragic death six years ago, and in her guilt, she shuts herself off from the world. No one could love her—not even the God who promised to be there for her but wasn’t.
For paramedic Ezra Bryant, failure is not an option. He’s had enough of it, and only by God’s grace is he able to put it behind him. But when a traumatic event brings Piper’s greatest fear and Ezra’s failures to light, can they use that event to allow God to mend their broken pieces? Can love triumph over fear, and grace over guilt?”
Author Bio:

thing called ‘Life,’ she’d be tempted to spend all her days in front of a wood stove, book in one hand, coffee mug in the other.
A lover of learning, she finds enjoyment in many things and has more hobbies than she knows what to do with. Sarah Grace is a freelance web and graphic designer, and when not working, spending time with her ever-growing family, or reading, she can be found painting, playing the piano, or fangirling with her sisters and friends. Sarah
Grace inhabits the State of Great Lakes, and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else–unless it meant she could have a baby penguin, in which case, she’d gladly move to the South Pole.

My Review:
This sweet, clean novella will touch your heart and, at times, almost move you to tears. Piper, one of the main characters in this book, has faced unthinkable tragedy in her life. She’s given up on her faith and feels as if she’s meant to live her life alone. That changes when, under distressing circumstances, she reconnects with Ezra, a friend from her past. Ezra realizes that Piper not only needs a friend, she also needs to reach out to God for restoration and hope.
The main themes of this book are these: Does God love us and walk with us through the darkest and saddest times of our lives? Does He hear our prayers? The author has done a great job of answering these questions through the stories of Piper and Ezra. I came away encouraged from reading this book.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
