After She Falls
After She Falls | Carmen Schober
2 posts | 2 read
She's always had that fire in her. She just needs to find it again. Strong-willed Adri Rivera nearly achieved her goal of being a professional mixed martial artist, but then she fell in love with a man who knocked all the fight out of her. When their abusive, tumultuous relationship finally comes to a head, Adri flees with their young daughter to her small hometown in the mountains of Pennsylvania. There, she must face the people she left behind and put her broken life back together again. A hardened Max Lyons can't believe Adri is back in town after abruptly cutting him and everyone else off years ago. Despite the distance that grew between them, he feels compelled to help her regain her independence and offers her a job at his gym. But regaining each other's trust is another matter, made even more complicated by the lingering spark between them. As Adri dares to pursue her dream again, she trains for a big tournament with Max's help, but they'll both have to confront their own doubts in order to rise victorious. "Anyone who has watched a sports movie knows that the underdog will prevail, romance readers know that love wins, and Christian fiction readers know that God is bigger than any problem; Schober's debut novel is unique for being blend of the three."--LIBRARY JOURNAL

This novel was gritty at times and authentic throughout. Some scenes caused me to gasp and worry, while others caused me to cheer on and root for the underdog. I loved so many of the characters! They were well-developed and so well-connected. Extended family became nuclear family and friends became chosen family. Love that! A compelling and satisfying storyline.

I don‘t know much of anything about MMA fighting but I LOVED this story about a woman who left an abusive relationship and rekindles her MMA career. Adri is a true underdog and I loved her determination as she trained for a huge fight against the top rated MMA fighter. There are great themes of forgiveness in here but I think the best thing about the story is watching Adri build her self esteem and gain independence for herself and her daughter.

intothehallofbooks A huge thanks to Bethany House and NetGalley for sending me an early review copy. After She Falls is set to be published in the US on Nov 2, 2021. 3y
