Robert Turner was quite a party guy until a car accident lands
him in the hospital. Soon he meets up
with a fella who steers him in the direction of AA and brings him back to the
Lord where he finally begins to turn his life around. Because of the influence of old friends, he
moves away for a completely fresh star, where he finds a job as a reporter with
the local paper. While conducting an
interview up at Big Fork Lake, he takes notice of a beautiful girl named
Belle. Things seem to be going pretty
well. Belle is a sweet gal who loves the
Lord and finds Robert very interesting.
After a time, Robert shares with Belle about his past, or at least most
of it. When the part left unsaid comes
to light, it drives a wedge between them. Forgiveness is not easy. Can Belle look beyond Robert's past and see
Robert for the man he is today?
Redemption in Big Fork Lake is a tale about the challenge of
turning your life around and dealing with the struggles and emotions of being a
recovering alcoholic. You got a good
sense of what that might be like. The story also dealt with honesty in a
relationship, forgiveness and reliance upon the Lord, all of which I
appreciated. I enjoyed getting to know
Belle and Robert as well as all the secondary characters. They seemed very realistic although there
were a couple of places where I felt the reaction of the characters felt
unnatural to me. I do know that everyone
reacts to things differently, so it may have been just me. That being said, I enjoyed my return visit to Big Fork Lake, it was a very enjoyable story with likable
people and a good message.
