The Knowing, the feeling that you are going to meet someone special.

Brit Lunden recaps the happenings from the first novella, Bulwark, and I always like that refresher. Sometimes it’s a long time between readings.

We met JB in Bulwark and now, his mood turns to the past and the love of his life, Ellie. He had known he would never leave Bulwark. Farm work it will be, not a football hero, even though he was that good, Bear Bryant wanted to recruit him. I love that addition to the story. I don’t believe there is a soul alive in Alabama who doesn’t know who Bear Bryant is.

So not what I was expecting, but it turned into a wonderful tale of love, second chances and maybe a little bit of magic.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Knowing by Brit Lunden.

Being book 1 in the anthology series that follows the initial novella, The Knowing aims to bring us a little closer to some of the characters featured...one in particular, JB Stratton. You see, we come to know him after he is involved with a couple that has had a car crash...or maybe it's a car stall since it was in water, well not really water, but, okay I'm getting ahead of myself. JB lives in a cabin in the somewhat remote corners of Bulwark. He is the lucky soul in the vicinity of a couple's accident when they stumble from their disabled vehicle looking for safety. Thing is...they have a strange story to tell, and upon their removal from his property, yes, I said removal, JB's world starts to spin in a familiar yet unexpected direction.

Once upon a time, JB Stratton was a married man. The love of his life, Ellie, was taken from him all too soon...and yet he is secure in the knowledge, in THE KNOWING, that one day they will be together again....and again...and again...and again. Their souls are so entwined, even death can not keep them apart. This story is their story, and it's traumatic, tender, touching, and beautiful...but again, not without its despair. They have tough times...perhaps more than other couples seeing how they are linked through time...and they have their obstacles (aside from death itself), but they never give up. They constantly stay on the search for one another even when it seems it isn't their time, even while living their day to day lives as most of us do. Their final meeting in this world (for now) will bring a tear to your eye, but also an unexpected smile for YOU know that one day they'll meet again.

An interesting read and wonderful first addition to what seems to be an anthology with much promise.
