Blurb: Together for over 10 years, Geoff and Eli built a fulfilling life. Their love and support helped raise their adopted son. Their hard work and dedication grew their farm from raising cattle and boarding horses to expanding into therapy riding sessions. Surrounded by a loving circle of friends, Geoff and Eli couldn’t ask for more. Until driven Eli loses his energy, and the doctor gives them the dire diagnosis of cancer.
Caught up in never-ending doctor’s appointments, surgeries, and treatments, their world turns upside down. With so many people dependent on them, they must pull together to put on a brave face, continue living as best they can, and care for their family. Geoff fears Eli, the love of his life, while a fighter, may not endure this battle, but neither is willing to consider succumbing as an option.
Review: Love Means… Endurance continues the story of Geoff and Eli. In this book, we get to catch up on how life has been treating them and their adopted son, Jake. It’s a great story about kindness, love and, as the title says, endurance.
Grey gently reminds us that bad things–in this case, cancer–happen to good people, but with the help of others, the strength of family and the love we share, we can survive. This really is a story of strength and, of course, with any Andrew Grey book you have to sprinkle in a little male/male love. It’s what keeps the book hot. His books are like a fleece jacket—warm and soft to the touch.
Andrew McFerrin can always be depended on to deliver a great performance and keep his listeners engaged by adding the right amount of emotion to every character. Andrew McFerrin and Andrew Grey make a great team.
