4.0 out of 5 stars The Power of Love 10 Aug 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I've always been a hopeful romantic. Growing up in a dysfunctional home, I spent much of my youth dreaming of living my own life in the future with the woman of my dreams. I'm there now, but family-of-origin issues remain, as they do with most of us. Humans are imperfect creatures, after all, and wounds take time to heal.

Ultimate Sacrifice on the surface is a love story, but there's a deeper level here, a story within the story. As if our dear protagonist doesn't have enough going on with her boyfriend's sudden catastrophic injuries and another young man's advances, she has to deal with her petulant mother who has some serious control issues. She may seem to want what's best for her daughter, but she's blind to her daughter's love for Ben and deaf to her pleas to live her own life.

Love requires sacrifice, and in this story, we find a character we can relate to on so many levels -- though most of us will probably never have our life partner lose a limb or few. In the end, she loses something as well, but she gains so much more. That's the power of love (cue music).

4.0 out of 5 stars An inspirational tale of overcoming adversity 10 Oct 2012
By Michael Offutt - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Lyndsay Greavett's handsome boyfriend, Ben, is hurt badly while disarming explosive devices in Afghanistan. He manages to survive, but he is now differently-abled. Despite the challenges that this represents, Lynd loves Ben and he loves her back with all his heart. Together they overcome those challenges and face each day with renewed hope and a vigor for life that many who are not damaged in the same way, never learn to appreciate.

I work within assistive technology, and a story like this is an inspiration to those who are hit with bad luck in life. But when you set your mind to it, you can overcome many of the obstacles that life throws at you because of love and support. Ben has the best of both worlds because he's a returning war hero. And as he heals, he comes to grips with his new life and sets his goals to become a paralympian. I know Muffy Davis (who won several gold medals in the paralympics) and this kind of attitude is both uplifting and incredible.

I'm so glad to have found this book from Ms. Sara and I intend to recommend it to clients who may benefit by reading it. Choose to live every day of your life and through that you will find fulfillment.
