One Wrong Turn by Deanna Lynn Sletten 

Print and e-book, 173 pages
Published October 22, 2019 by Deanna Lynn Sletten

Tragedy brought him home, but love made him stay.

When his estranged wife, Jess, has a terrible accident leaving her lying in a coma, Clay Connors returns to his family to care for his two daughters. He has been separated from his family for nearly two years and his eldest daughter, Maddie, is resentful over his being absent. Sadly, his youngest daughter, Jilly, barely remembers him. Clay’s reasons for staying away now seem self-serving in the light of their family’s tragedy. The past washes over Clay as the memories of what led up to their separation envelope him and his future hangs in the balance over whether or not his wife will wake up. Can they be a family again, or is he too late?

One Wrong Turn is a story of time lost and redemption as Clay and his daughters struggle to reconnect and learn to trust again in the wake of a tragedy.

(This is a re-release of the book by the same title: One Wrong Turn)

  

I read One Wrong Turn when it was released in 2017 and loved it. You can read my thoughts here. I'm so excited that Deanna released it again with this beautiful new cover, designed by Tugboat Design. Isn't it amazing?

One Wrong Turn

One Wrong Turn: A Novel by Deanna Lynn Sletten
Paperback and e-book, 204 pages
Published: June 20th 2017 by Lake Union Publishing

Author Deanna Lynn Sletten returns with an unforgettable novel about one man’s crisis of self and his greatest act of love.

The words “I'm her husband” roll off Clay Connors’s tongue, but with his estranged wife lying in a coma—and no assurance that she’ll awaken—he knows he’s perilously close to losing everything. A singular, terrifying accident has left Jess Connors suspended between life and death. Now Clay is reunited with the family he hasn’t seen for two years, including the daughters he left behind.

Clay should have been there for his family. He never should have stayed away so long. The alcohol that took over his life destroyed everything but a shred of his self-preservation. Sober and haunted, Clay revisits the memory of love, marriage, and how his life unraveled. He hopes that by trying to reconnect with the daughter who blames him and the daughter who barely knew him, he can find a light of hope in this darkest hour. As his family faces its most grueling, emotional test yet, Clay must summon the courage to make right what was wrong—and find forgiveness from his harshest judge: himself.


My thoughts about One Wrong Turn ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First line—"Jessica Conners gripped the steering wheel as she maneuvered the twists and turns on Highway 1 along the Northern California coastline."

I love Deanna's stories and I get lost in them as soon as I start reading the first lines. One Wrong Turn grabbed my heart from the start and I loved my roller-coaster journey through the lives of Jess and Clay and their two wonderful daughters, Maddie, the spunky teenager, and Jilly-bear, the seven-year-old, who is wise beyond her years.

This story was such an emotional read that tugged at my heartstrings. It broke my heart watching this family struggle as they tried to deal with the reality of their beloved wife and mother lying in a coma in the hospital. They all need Jessica so much and if the power of love can heal, they should be able heal their broken family. But can they find it in their hearts to forgive? And is their love going to be strong enough to pull Jess back and fix what is broken? 

One Wrong Turn is an amazing love story; a story of strength, perseverance, and forgiveness that will stay with you long after the last page is turned.

Congrats Deanna on the release today of  One Wrong Turn! 
I have been a huge fan of Deanna's since the very first book of her's that I read. I met her virtually on a blog tour when I read Memories in 2012. I have read everything she has written since then and she is one of my 'drop everything and read' authors. As soon as I get one of her books in my hands—look out—nothing else will get done until I finish it!

After years of being a virtual friend of Deanna's, I finally was able to meet her in person two years ago. We met for lunch and the time just flew, I felt like I had known her forever! 

Deanna and me ~ September 2015

I am so excited for One Wrong Turn to get out into the world. Not only is the cover stunning, the beautiful story inside is one you won't soon forget.

We are having unseasonably warm weather right now. It has me thinking about getting the grill and patio furniture out but I know it's only February and we'll be hit with more snow, for sure. But I am loving the sun and warm temps all the same. 

We had another busy weekend full of grandkiddos. I have Monday off for President's Day but then I offered to babysit the 2½ year old. There goes my day of reading. Oh well, the books will always be there, we have to enjoy the kids when we can. 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a great week. Happy reading!
