Loved it. It will change your perspective on life.
A novel set in Salt Lake City. It is filled with all kind of human emotion, intrigue, and twists and turns. A great read!
Another heartwarming, tear-jerking book from Richard Evans
All of his books are SO GOOD!
Simply wonderful read. As usual with his books...I cried. Several times. It makes you stop and think about life and what it's about (or should be and rarely is).
In his present novel, good guy protagonist Robert Harlan writes a novel titled A Perfect Day, about his wife, Allyson, and her relationship with her beloved father. The book comes out to popular acclaim, rockets up the charts and thrusts Robert into a new life of fame and fortune. An extended book tour, constant interviews, the adulation of millions of women, and a greedy Hollywood agent soon begin to erode his perfect marriage to the patient, loving, beautiful Allyson. There have been other books about authors self-destructing after great success-Youngblood Hawke by Herman Wouk, to name a notable example-but it's a story that seems timeless, still able to enthrall readers. Evans freshens the material by bringing in a hipster angel with attitude

This was a great read. Read it in one night.
I loved this book! Richard Paul Evans does not disappoint!
Robert Harlan loves his wife, his daughter, and his writing. However,
his thirst for success causes him to lose his focus, and forget what truly matters to him. A mysterious message about the brevity of life,
his life, causes him to do some real soul-searching. It is then he realizes it just might be too late to "fix" what's wrong in his life... or is it??
Writer's thirst for success causes him to lose focus on family that sustains him. He makes some missteps but a stranger's mysterious message about the brevity of his future helps him discover the truth about himself and what it will take to find what he lost.
