"Dare to Dream Again"
By Alana Terry
About the Book:
Release date: May 8, 2018
Will love bloom just as sweet the second time around?
Losing her husband has taught Gloria more than anything else how to rely on God.
His grace alone gave her the strength to raise her children — a sweet angel with cerebral palsy as well as a daughter who wants nothing more than to serve God as a missionary on foreign soil.
Gloria couldn’t be prouder of her girls, but a future without them both by her side sounds empty and hollow.
When God thrusts a godly man like Derek into her path, Gloria isn’t sure she’s ready to jump headfirst into a relationship.
But maybe God’s giving her the chance for a happily ever after … a second time around.

My Thoughts:
Alana Terry has once again accomplished what she set out to do!! She succeeded in writing a sweet Christian romance, a tale that enables those of us living everyday, ordinary lives, can easily identify with . This author uses her unique talent to involve us in a situation that could easily be one that we could experience.
The characters were described in a realistic fashion so that I could easily identify with them. Dealing with single motherhood is a topic that we encounter every day. Healing must take place before the future can appear bright once again. The title , "Dare to Dream Again" , is perfect for this book. Both of the main characters have accept the past difficulties and proceed to follow God's plan in their lives. Will it be together or apart????? God's still small voice will guide us in our future if only we will listen! We all need to realize that the past is exactly that! None of our thoughts can rid us of it! Nor do we really want it to! But we do have hope and faith to guide us in our journey. It is perfectly fine to move on and dream again!! Reach for the stars!! God is watching over us at all times.
I truly enjoyed this novella. Short and sweet but oh so meaningful!! So full of the truth! Now , I am eagerly awaiting Alana's next book telling us Susannah's story (Gloria's daughter)!!

Guest Post from Alana
Hey everyone! Fall is here. Our family had a great summer. Everything in Alaska is gorgeous in the summertime. One of my favorite childhood memories that my husband and I have introduced our kids to is Vacation Bible School (VBS). With so many volunteers giving of their time to build relationships with each other and the kids who attend, it’s a week filled with so many great Jesus moments. I thought it would be fun to write a book about VBS. Dare to Dream Again is about two VBS volunteers who not only become friends, but just may dare to fall in love.
