Review: Searching for Tomorrow by Kathryn M. Crane

Some people are blessed to find that one certain person who completes them.

Wrynn’s yesterdays were what others only dream of having. She and Tripp were the best of friends before they even thought about love. They had the fairy tale life where ‘like’ turns into ‘love’, and ‘love’ becomes ‘happily ever after’.

What happens when life conspires against you, and snatches your soul mate from your arms?

…only her forever love ended much too soon.

Broken beyond her own ability to repair, Wrynn boxes up her grief and attempts to raise her three girls the best she can on her own. As time slowly passes, Wrynn relives her life with Tripp while struggling most days to get out of bed. She is reminded of him at every turn.

How do you set your grief and anguish aside? How do you pick up the shattered pieces, put those pieces back together again, and try to move on?

Wrynn tries to find the joy in life every single day through her daughters, family, and friends. Her twin brother Liam has dedicated himself to helping Wrynn put her life back together after losing his own love. On the other hand, her mother-in-law lives to torment her at every turn. Wrynn can't even find a chance to breathe, much less a desire to somehow search for her tomorrow.

Review:

I received a copy from the author for an honest review.

Let me start out first with I am a veteran and military spouse. When Kathryn had mentioned military I had told her I was very picky on how authors write about the military. Some get it wrong and some well some just have no clue. Kathryn did very well portraying ARMY life as a spouse. It was like living it all over again. Just reading what Wrynn had gone through while Tripp was gone brought tears and over whelming sadness.

Wrynn's and Tripp's love for one another was young and beautiful and refreshing. Just knowing that childhood, high school sweethearts really happen. Tripp's dedication to Wrynn was over the top joyful and you would thought Wrynn was a princess.

In Searching for Tomorrow we meet Wrynn, Liam and Tripp. Wrynn and Liam are twins and Tripp he was a friend they took in and became a member of their family. You could say they were from 2 different worlds but the way Tripp acted you wouldn't have known. 

The way Kathryn described everything it felt like you were walking with Wrynn and Tripp while out on their hikes, or sitting eating their ice cream. It was like walking down through town with the characters and you were beside them. Every chapter you read, you got the back story to it in the next chapter. If you felt lost reading something in a chapter the next showed you how things were when they were in high school, or just starting out their adult lives. 

For every tear you shed you laughed. I swear I wanted to slap mother Tidwell just as much as Liam and Wrynn's family did. I mean what mother doesn't show their child love, compassion and need? Mother Tidwell that is who. We learn her side of things and I tell you what that pissed me off even more. I wanted to get on Facebook and scream at Kathryn but I didn't. I told myself to keep reading something has to give, and it sure did.

I haven't been a military spouse since 2008. My husband was medical boarded out due to an injury. I miss that connection with other spouses but like Wrynn I have a few that I know I can call and they will come help me out. Just the mention of The Wounded Warriors brings tears to my eyes. I know what families are going through. It is tough and not everyone can handle it.

That being said and without giving to much away. I had a feeling that something major was going to happen and when it did I had to grab the tissue box. I couldn't believe it. I was like Wrynn. I thought I was reading something that wasn't there. I had to pinch myself and rub my eyes to be sure I was reading what I was reading. It was magical and beautiful and just thinking about it now makes me want to cry some more. 

I am going to say this: You need to pick up Searching for Tomorrow. It isn't erotica, it is refreshing true love type of read. A read that has a man who will do anything for his family. So while your done reading my review, go get yourself a copy.
