Overview
From the Bestselling Author of Coming Home and Co-Author of SanctuaryVery early in life, Stephen Whitaker had determined he was never going to be like his dad, a loser in every way, as far as Stephen could tell. From then on, his goal was to distance himself from those early years in Aberdeen, South Dakota. And his efforts were paying off--top grades in high school, an ivy-league university, a great job offer with a New York law firm after he graduated...and he had an engagement rig in his pocket and the proposal all worked out for lovely, talented Alice...
Losing Alice was the event that changed everything for Stephen. Back in Aberdeen, he attempted to pick up the pieces of his life. He married best friend Donna, and they had a precocious daughter with whom Stephen immediately bonded. He went into business with his high school buddy, and it looked like he had things back in hand.
The gradual downward spiral began so slowly that Stephen wasn't paying attention as his life started to spin out of control. And then it was too late...Or was it?
An Unexpected--and Undeserved Crossroads.
Which Route Will Stephen Choose?
Synopsis
Stephen Whittaker has his whole life planned, but when he loses his true love--Alice--a gradual undetected spiral begins. When everything starts unraveling who will Stephen turn to?

"A good story... [it] makes you realize that materialistic things are not what is important in life, but good relationships with God, your family and friends should be priority."

"So many Christians fall into the great abyss of believing that because of their faith, they are immune to temptations and poor choices. And when they falter, they beat themselves up because they believe they should "know better or do better." ....The novel is hard hitting, occasionally dark and troubling. It is a marriage of the sweet relationship between a father and daughter and the dark side of that relationship and others when the road traveled is one without faith....Read Saving Alice with an eye on your own life and the choices made. The lesson is, it's never too late for God to work in His children's lives... I liked it a great deal."—Armchair Interviews.com

"This story will not go in the direction you expect it to. Trust me...What is it? It's brilliant is what it is. David Lewis delivers an emotional roller coaster here with a resounding conclusion that breaks every rule, but provides immense satisfaction and a recognition that God cannot be boxed....I'm extremely pleased that 2006 has begun so well for Christian fiction. If we keep getting quality stories like Saving Alice, we're in for an impressive year. Highly Recommended."—Christian Fiction Review.com

"Taking a startling twist part way through the novel, author David Lewis toys with the mind of the reader. Are we devastated or pleased? It becomes difficult to determine, until at last the novel unfolds to reveal an amazing story line. Well worth the read, SAVING ALICE is highly recommended."Donna Swanger
