Christine Anderson’s In This Lifetime takes readers on a profound journey of love, forgiveness, and faith, as a widowed mother of three, Cherie Hollister, is faced with an impossible decision. After losing her husband in a tragic military accident, Cherie is confronted by her estranged mother who asks her to consider donating a kidney to her brother, Jake—a recovering drug addict in dire need of a transplant. The only problem? Jake’s past negligence caused irreparable harm to Cherie’s daughter, Molly, leaving scars that run deeper than the physical wounds.
As Cherie grapples with her emotions, her faith leads her toward the possibility of forgiveness—but can she truly forgive the man who stole so much from her family? In ” In This Lifetime” , Anderson paints an intimate portrait of the complexity of human relationships, the cost of forgiveness, and the healing power of faith.
