Saving Alice: A Novel

by David Lewis (Preface by)

Overview

A Novel of Second Choices, Second Chances
Emotion-Packed Fiction From a Bestselling Author

Stephen Whittaker had determined never to be like his dad, someone he considered a loser in every way. Stephen had distanced himself from those early years in Aberdeen, South Dakota, and it was working—an Ivy League education, a great job offer with a New York law firm, and an engagement ring and the proposal all worked out for lovely, talented Alice...

Losing Alice meant that everything changed for Stephen. Back in Aberdeen, he tried to pick up the pieces of his life again. He married his best friend and had a precocious, charming daughter. He went into business and was making big money. It looked like he had things back in hand.

The gradual downward spiral came so slowly he didn't see the signs—and then it was too late... Or was it? If only he could turn the clock back...

Editorial Reviews

"The book is well worth the read."

MyChurchLibrary.org

"A good story... [it] makes you realize that materialistic things are not what is important in life, but good relationships with God, your family and friends should be priority."
—FaithWebbin.net

Donna Swanger

"Taking a startling twist part way through the novel, author David Lewis toys with the mind of the reader. Are we devastated or pleased? It becomes difficult to determine, until at last the novel unfolds to reveal an amazing story line. Well worth the read, SAVING ALICE is highly recommended."

Author's Choice Reviews

"This story will not go in the direction you expect it to. Trust me...What is it? It's brilliant is what it is. David Lewis delivers an emotional roller coaster here with a resounding conclusion that breaks every rule, but provides immense satisfaction and a recognition that God cannot be boxed....I'm extremely pleased that 2006 has begun so well for Christian fiction. If we keep getting quality stories like Saving Alice, we're in for an impressive year. Highly Recommended."

Tim Frankovich

"So many Christians fall into the great abyss of believing that because of their faith, they are immune to temptations and poor choices. And when they falter, they beat themselves up because they believe they should "know better or do better." ....The novel is hard hitting, occasionally dark and troubling. It is a marriage of the sweet relationship between a father and daughter and the dark side of that relationship and others when the road traveled is one without faith.

...Read Saving Alice with an eye on your own life and the choices made. The lesson is, it's never too late for God to work in His children's lives... I liked it a great deal."
