These are all themes you will find in the page turning, heart stopping, hope driven novel Never Let You Go by Erin Healy. Has someone hurt you? Have you hurt yourself? Are you able to forgive or does bitterness and anger fester? Lexi’s daughter Molly’s life depends on this answer.
Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker fans take notice! This is Erin Healy’s first solo novel and she not only does well, she knocks it out of the park! This story will pull on your heart strings while the spiritual aspect will have you looking into your own life wondering if there is any bitterness or unforgiveness that Satan can use to trap you in a world of darkness.

About:
Losing everything has Lexi clinging to her daughter. Hell is determined to loosen her grip.
It’s been seven years since disaster struck her family. Lexi Solomon has held it all together since then—just barely. But now Lexi is losing it. The husband who deserted her is back in town, wanting to see their daughter Molly. Her sister’s shameless murderer is up for parole. An unsavory old friend is demanding payment for debts Lexi knows nothing about and can’t begin to meet. And something else is going on—something Lexi feels but can’t explain. A dangerous shift is taking place between this reality and the next. Forces beyond her imagination are vying for control.
My favorite line in the book, “Lexi, whose sins have you decided are unpardonable?” Do we have a “right” to withhold forgiveness if what they did was horrifying? Who will that unforgiveness hurt more, you or the one who committed the offense? These are all questions readers will ask while reading Never Let You Go by Erin Healy.
Tedd Dekker is a well established author and Healy has co-authored two books with him (Kiss and Burn), I was curious how she would do as a solo author. I have to say, Dekker better watch out he just may of helped the woman who will pass him on the charts! This is the perfect book for any reading club! And I can guarantee you this will make my top 10 of best read books in 2010!

I enjoy both, Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti. I think I will like Erin's book as well. Thank you for your recommendation of her first solo novel.
I am reading “Never let you go” right now and I CANNOT tare myself away from it. Today was thanksgiving and I read the whole time the turkey thawed and cooked. It made the waiting go by so very fast. I am in love with her work and I can’t wait to read her books with Ted Dekker. I have read all of his books and I know together they will have created a masterpiece.
