Inventing Character

by Denelle Zurek

Are deceased loved ones always with us? In Inventing Character, two strangers discover that together they hold the key to saving the life of a poverty-stricken girl. Jack Parker, a renowned cardiologist, thought he had all he ever cars, homes, and a beautiful girlfriend. But when a fatal diagnosis revives painful childhood memories, he realizes his life had been meaningless despite great material wealth. In his tortured sleep, dreams become increasingly intense as death nears. Sleep terrifies him, until one night he dreams of a teenaged boy. Amy Bennett lost her son tragically and has given up on life. She blames her husband for her son’s death and cannot heal. Feeling as though she will never recover from his death, she reacts to the world that she can no longer trust by drinking too much and pushing everyone away. This changes when she encounters a strange man who claims to know things about her son. Reluctant at first, she ultimately connects with this man after encouragement from her sister. A long journey into her intuition follows and she discovers that her son’s death might not have been in vain.

Full Circle story

At first it was not clear to me how the characters who all be joined together; but then little snipits began to reveal themselves . a truly good read of love lost and regained from unforseen characters of character

[Andrea Cole]

Such a good read! You will be rooting for these characters. I love novels where peoples lives and stories intertwine and connect. Full of humanity- love and loss, compassion and anger, and a mixture of family dynamics that I think a lot of people can relate to.
