It Never Occurred to Her by Michelle Jester

For two years Gabriel has followed every lead, no matter how small, in the hope of finding his wife who has been kidnapped. He and the police always seem to be one step behind, until investigators give him information that helps him launch the plan to find her.

When Lena looks up into the eyes of her husband, who she hasn’t seen in two years, she is humiliated and wants nothing more than to run before he recognizes her. And so she does. It’s only when she faces a desperate situation that she is forced to return and ask for his help.

As fate twists its way through both of their lives, they realize it doesn’t matter how much they have prepared to face the realities of losing someone, or finding them again, redemption is in letting go of the past and finding a future just off the beaten path.

More from Michelle

When I first started writing this novel, it was because of a dream I had. I woke in the middle of the night crying, sweating, and praising God. I immediately got up, went to my computer and started writing about the dream. I was weeping the entire time and barely able to see through my tears.

In the dream, I was homeless, alone, and had drifted from God. I was hungry and went into a food kitchen to eat. I was dirty, smelled terrible, and missed Larry so much, only I knew I could never go home. I had done too much and had too much done to me to ever make it back to him.

After the person in the food kitchen put the food on my plate, I looked up and it was my husband, Larry. I was humiliated and desperately didn’t want him to recognize me. I was about to leave when in the dream Larry’s face turned to Jesus and He said, “I have been looking for you.”

That dream became the cornerstone of this novel.

My Review of It Never Occurred to Her:

This is the type of book I love to read. It contains lots of triggers, which the author warns about, so you know what you’re getting into, but the depth of emotion and details definitely let me know I’ve lived a very blessed life. The author did a great job of showing how trauma eats away at a person until they don’t feel like themselves anymore. Due to the graphic nature of the scenes, some details were left to the readers imagination (thankfully) but yet the author was still able to show what happens to a women after sex trafficking. This was a book that was hard to read yet even more difficult to put down. It didn’t scream of hope at the beginning but yet there were still glimmers of hope throughout. I think that’s how real life is a lot of time. We get glimpses of hope in desperate situations but we have to look for it or it comes softly and gently instead of barging its way in. I would definitely read more from this author.

I received a complimentary copy of this book but was under no obligation to review it. All opinions are mine.

Thanks for connecting today.
