The hope-filled sequel to the bestselling One Tuesday Morning In this new novel by Karen Kingsbury, three years have passed since the terrorist attacks on New York City. Jamie Bryan, widow of a firefighter who lost his life on that terrible day, has found meaning in her season of loss by volunteering at St. Paul’s, the memorial chapel across the street from where the Twin Towers once stood. Here she meets a daily stream of people touched by the tragedy, including two men with whom she feels a connection. One is a firefighter also changed by the attacks, the other a police officer from Los Angeles. But as Jamie gets to know the police officer, she is stunned to find out that he is the brother of Eric Michaels, the man with the uncanny resemblance to Jamie’s husband, the man who lived with her for three months after September 11. Eric is the man she has vowed never to see again. Certain she could not share even a friendship with his brother, Jamie shuts out the police officer and delves deeper into her work at St. Paul’s. Now it will take the persistence of a tenacious man, the questions from her curious young daughter, and the words from her dead husband’s journal to move Jamie beyond one Tuesday morning. “Jamie Bryan took her position at the far end of the Staten Island Ferry, pressed her body against the railing, eyes on the place where the Twin Towers once stood. She could face it now, every day if she had to. The terrorist attacks had happened, the World Trade Center had collapsed, and the only man she’d ever loved had gone down with them. Late fall was warmer than usual, and the breeze across the water washed over Jamie’s face. If she could do this, if she could make this journey three times a week while Sierra was in school, then she could convince herself to get through another long, dark night. She could face the empty place in the bed beside her, face the longing for the man who had been her best friend, the one she’d fallen for when she was only a girl.”

I have read 5 of Kingsbury's books now and I think I will eventually read them all. This book picks up three years after One Tuesday Morning with all of the same principal characters. As in the first book, there is an excitement in knowing something the characters don't, and you just can't wait to see when and how they will find out. Though the "secret" isn't quite as dramatic this time around, it's still an interesting process. I loved seeing how Eric's time with Jamie and Sierra left such a different impression on all of their lives. Jamie and Eric remembered it very differently and Sierra has hardly any recollection at all. I love the way Kingsbury thoroughly involves you with seperate stories before she ties them together, it feels like you really know the characters that way. Overall I recommend the book, though I doubt it would be as good without having read One Tuesday Morning first.
This book is about healing and moving on past what happened on 9-11. This book is about Jamie, struggling with just that, as she gets involved with two men. She is constantly struggling with leaving the memories of Jake behind and moving on.The research on what happened on 9-11 was excellent. I thought that Kingsbury did a wonderful job, capturing the depth of people's pain after what happened to our Twin Towers. I loved how she had Jamie do volunteer work, helping people who lost loved ones in 9-11.As usual, Kingsbury's books rock! I look forward to reading more from her.
After reading ONE TUESDAY MORNING, I was glad to see that Ms. Kingsley had finished the story with a sequel. She did a great job and I would highly recommend both books as Kingsley is one of the better Christian writers out there. I only had one question and it bothers me but not enough to give the book 4 stars. I find it very hard to believe that Clay, during his first tour of St. Paul's, wouldn't have mentioned to Jamie that his brother had been in the World Trade Center at the time of the attacks. It's a small thing but his silence doesn't seem believeable. Still, the story would have come to a grinding halt if he did, so there you go.
Love at first sight is definitely possible. God put Clay in the right place at the right time. Jamie was in trouble. I loved the way the feelings between them was intertwined with the sadness of 911. It was a very moving story of something this country can never forget. It was sad that Jamie's husband who was killed as a firefighter in the towers didn't live to see her accept her savior. But, I'm sure he knew. This was a wonderful story of love, sorrow and hope.
I read One Tuesday Morning and loved it. Beyond Tuesday Morning was just as good and I hope for another sequel one day. No reader has ever touched me or brought me close to a book like Karen can. She is my favorite author.
By: Jeffrey W. Bennett, author of Under the Lontar Palm and ISP Certification-The Industrial Security Professional Exam ManualWhat can I say, I love a great story that has a great ending. Okay, for a guy, this story provides great role models. Karen Kingsbury demonstrate the great things that can happen when men take the lead to keep Christ in the forefront of their families. We all can benefit from heroes and we never know where we will find them. I'd say they can be found inside the pages of Beyond Tuesday Morning within the characters of Clay, Eric and Jake.
BEYOND TUESDAY MORNING brings back the pain of 9-11, but it does more, it helps us heal. Another solid story from Kingsbury that leaves the reader emotionally drained, but firmly trusting in God's sovereignty and grace.See the rest of this review at AUTHOR'S CHOICE REVIEWS[...]
I was hesitant to start this book as I wasn't sure a sequel could live up to the first story. But Ms. Kingsbury managed to bring every character through 3 years of grief and pick up from there. What insight on her part! I love the theme of "Choose Life"; we can all learn from that at some point in our lives. Just three questions - What happened to Sierra's grandpa? Wouldn't Jamie have turned to him when making such important discoveries and decisions? Wouldn't she have included him in Sierra's life?
