2020 | Drama, Sport
Jack Cunningham (Ben Affleck) was a High School basketball phenom who walked away from the game, forfeiting his future. Years later, when he reluctantly accepts a coaching job at his alma mater, he may get one last shot at redemption.

First of all I have to say that the thought of a film based around basketball wasn’t something that appealed to me on first hearing about Finding The Way Back, but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the film and how powerful not only the performances were but the story and feel of the film.

This is a movie that is one that you can sit back with and take in the story and how Affleck’s character’s life took a turn after his Basketball career ended, but he has the chance to come back when he is asked to coach the school team which hasn’t won any games in such a long time.

The Silver Road
By Stina Jackson
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Three years ago, Lelle's daughter went missing in a remote part of Northern Sweden. Lelle has spent the intervening summers driving the Silver Road under the midnight sun, frantically searching for his lost daughter, for himself and for redemption.

Meanwhile, seventeen-year-old Meja arrives in town hoping for a fresh start. She is the same age as Lelle's daughter was - a girl on the brink of adulthood. But for Meja, there are dangers to be found in this isolated place.

As autumn's darkness slowly creeps in, Lelle and Meja's lives are intertwined in ways, both haunting and tragic, that they could never have imagined.

I couldn’t put this down! It was just so heartbreaking and so chilling! So well written it just kept you turning the page. I think this is all parents worse nightmare having their child disappear without any leads. Truly heartbreaking story of two lives being brought together.

Redemption ( The Warrior 4)
By Rebecca Royce
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Gone from their memories.
Stripped from their minds.

Rachel Clancy made a decision to erase herself form the lives of her friends and family to free herself to make hard decisions--decisions that will impact all of mankind. However, the choice wasn't really hers. Manipulated by a ruthless mastermind to do as he wished, Rachel is now alone--alone in a world of strangers.

Strangers who were her friends.
Strangers who were her family.
Strangers who have no idea who she is.

The book before this completely side tracked me and I was so confused so when I started this is took a few chapters to swing back into the world but it actually turned out one of the best so far. I’m so pleased it unraveled the way it has without spoiling it for anyone. It’s one crazy world!
