Together Forever by Clark Selby Trafford Publishing
book review by Michael Radon
High school sweethearts Chance Clark and Ann Harris waste no time falling head over heels for each other. The couple decide to drop out of school and get married, seeing no other option that will make them happy, and are determined to make their marriage work no matter what kind of struggles they face. Whether it's barely having enough money to survive or starting a family sooner than expected, the newlyweds are steadfast in their belief that as long as they have each other, they can be happy. Fortune comes and goes as the story shares the details of their lives and their love, as Chance finds an unlikely source of steady employment and their family grows and prospers, only to find roadblocks and speed bumps along the way.
What makes this book such a compelling read is the heartfelt emotions that the main characters feel for each other. Any reader who has faced a difficulty in their life and overcome it with the support of loved ones will have their spirits lifted as the Clarks find ways to make everything work with grit and ingenuity. Chapters of success can be stripped away with one unforeseen event, and readers will feel the devastation along with the characters, who are so honest and caring that it is impossible not to root for them. For a story centered on love, this book really shares the qualities and benefits of such a union with the reader, inviting them to look at the lives of two children who did everything they had to to be together no matter what the odds.
