Grace Neunaber has entered a new phase of life. With two grandchildren and her second child college-bound, she’s rethinking what to do with her quiet days while the kids are at school. But she’s not the only one with decisions to make.

Thanks to a football injury, Jackson Williams’ college plans have been turned upside down. His confidence and ego have been shattered along with his dream of a football scholarship. Yet he’s challenged to grow both by his accident and by his best friend, Sam.

With so many uncertainties for the whole family, Grace will have to muster her self-confidence in the face of change. And Jackson will have to choose what kind of person he wants to become—a man who shirks responsibility and caves to circumstance or a man who stands up for what’s right when life knocks him down. Even when it means standing alone.

My Review ♥️

Stand Alone is not what I expected at all, but I was pleasantly surprised. Since I haven't read any of the other books in the series I was "flying blind" but honestly I don't think it made that much of a difference. The chapters are short, which helped me breeze right through, and the vibe is very laid back, which I also enjoyed.

I admired the realness, truly feeling like I was watching this family like a fly on the wall, which was a refreshing perspective. It's your typical family drama co-mingled with some pretty heavy subject matter that is handled in a very respectful way.

Each chapters point of view is shown so the perspective is is multifaceted, which makes for a deep, rich character development.

What really drew me in was this family and their love for one another, and the incredible power of grace and forgiveness. I really enjoyed Stand Alone and plan to go back and read the other books in the series.

My Rating: ★★★★
