Inspired by a true story, this book contains a tightly wounded plot of passion, suspense, and survival. Left Alive shares the story of a single mother who happened upon a second chance at love only to be assaulted by her new boyfriend. There was a lot to like about Elizabeth's new interest. He was charming, doting, conversational, and kind, but then, there was also a lot to learn.
One week into their relationship after a seemingly mild spat, Elizabeth's "perfect" man shot at her in cold blood in the head. Felled by hot bullets, Elizabeth lay comatose. But against all odds, time would unravel one of the greatest miracles of survival wrought by the mercy of God. Elizabeth's story is a cautionary and necessary tale of listening to one's instinct and taking heed of it promptly. While hindsight is twenty-twenty, the mind's eye is an instinctual and a God-given phenomenon. Elizabeth's story is a reminder to all to be alert to life's warning signs, and to listen to them! Left Alive by Lawrence Bowman shares Elizabeth's somber and intense story; through it all, one is haunted and disturbed that justice is never served. This poignant and cautionary message is reproving and grim, though in brief moments of glory, readers witness a testament to faith, family strength, and perseverance, and in that, hope for an assured future. |
