Description
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury comes a powerful story of hope and redemption as a forgotten secret, a shocking discovery, and a sacrifice of love brings Connor Evans to his knees.
Airline pilot Connor Evans and his wife, Michele, seem to be the perfect couple living what looks like a perfect life. Then a plane goes down in the Pacific Ocean. One of the casualties is Kiahna Siefert, a flight attendant Connor knew well. Too well. Kiahna's will is very clear: before her seven-year-old son, Max, can be turned over to the state, he must spend the summer with the father he's never met, the father who doesn't know he exists: Connor Evans. Now will the presence of one lonely child and the truth he represents destroy Connor's family? Or is it possible for healing and hope to appear in the shape of a seven-year-old boy?
Including tropes of hidden secrets, second-chance love, forgiveness, and grace and redemption, Oceans Apart is Redeeming Love meets The Notebook.

5By FlkPak1311I first read this book because of my mom and I'm so glad she made me read it on paperback. I cried at so many scenes in this book, I didn't know what to do when I finished I just sat there for a while and held the book. It was just amazingly beautiful.Edge of your seat in the first Chapter!
5By kenstewKaren Kingsbury does not waste any time getting into the heart of this story in the first chapter! I was "literally" on the edge of my seat. She never disappoints with her ability to make you feel you are there with all the characters with such vivid details. Love this book for married couples or anyone struggling with forgiveness!
