Monday was a travel day for me, so I had plenty of time to read during flights and layovers. Still, I didn’t quite get the novel finished before heading back to my apartment. I was hooked by the story line that I had lived with all day and decided to stay up a little later and finish reading this final book in Kingsbury’s 9/11 series.
In Every Now and Then, we are introduced to Alex, a young K-9 police officer living in Los Angeles. Alex struggles with personal grief due to the loss of his father 7 years prior during the attacks on the World Trade Center. Now, Alex lives his life with one goal: to rid the city of evil in order to bring honor to his father’s memory. In the process, he has managed to cut everyone else out of his life.
In typical Kingsbury fashion, the novel weaves authentic emotion into a riveting story of loss, frustration, and redemption alongside powerful Scriptural truths of hope, healing, and restoration. I have been deeply touched by the three books in the 9/11 series, but Every Now and Then spoke to my heart in a very special way. This is one of those times that this reader encountered the perfect book at just the right moment in my life’s journey.
