Book Description:
Grace Parrish made two mistakes when she fell in love. She forgot her mother’s stories of segregation. “Don’t love a white man, Grace. It’s too hard and he’ll break your heart.” Even worse, she fell in love with her best friend’s husband, Peter.
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU is a poignant story about the foundation of marriage: love, honor, and fidelity—and the heartache of unrequited love. The must-read story shows how the power of love can overcome adversity, the pain of loss, and rejection because of racial heritage.
Grace honors her best friend Lori’s marriage and refuses to pursue an affair, yet her heart will not allow her to love another. The bond of Peter’s love continues after Lori’s passing. During a chance meeting between Peter and Grace, much to their surprise,
a spark ignites that causes them each to wonder, “Could it be that we’ve been given a second chance to fall in love?”

My thoughts on I Will Always Love You
The story reminds me of the great multi-generational novels of yesteryear. The storyline develops slowly with great attention to details, thoughts, feelings, and characters.
I’m not sure the book blurb adequately explains this story. Yes, this story is a romance, but not in the traditional sense. The love and interactions between all the characters make this a heart-wrenching, uplifting story of lives well lived.
Lori, Peter, and Grace exemplify love, compassion, and caring. Their lives intertwine in the most touching ways. While the first half of the book sets the stage by presenting a cast of characters and their lives, the second half is emotionally charged fiction at its finest.
I laughed and cried several times throughout the story. I believe the author will rank among the best in writing family saga fiction.

I Will Always Love You sounds quite the book!
Ooh a second chance romance! I’m very happy that this book doesn’t seem to go the cheating route because that’s one of my least favorite things in romance novels.
Absolutely. You don’t get the unrequited love story often. It has of happy, fun moments. But, I also ugly cried toward the end even though things worked out eventually. It’s definitely a generational saga.
