Forever My Hero is really the story of Dan & Alice. There are some other secondary stories but the main thread is how their pasts are similar & how they come together. I love that they both are in the same place in life when they meet. They both have experienced tragedies that have deprived them of loved ones but they are past the worst of the grief & ready to love again. Patty & Charlie, Alice’s children, add another dimension to the story and it was wonderful that they were able to accept Dan into their lives before everything became serious. The trouble that Patty had at school was a perfect teacher by point & really illustrated our society today. Gossip is seldom based in truth & shouldn’t be relied on as such. Throw in some crime, a hurricane, injuries to loved ones & you have a fast paced story that keeps your attention throughout. ( )
