Book
To the moon and back : a novel / Karen Kingsbury.
It was the beginning of a letter not meant for Ashley Baxter Blake, but somehow she finds herself drawn to it. And to the handsome stranger who left it tucked in a chain-link fence for someone named Jenna. That man is Brady Bradshaw. Brady was a child when the Oklahoma City bombing killed his mother. More than a decade ago, Brady met Jenna Phillips, whose parents were also killed in the attack. For a handful of beautiful hours, Brady and Jenna shared a deep heart connection. But Brady never saw Jenna again. Now, a chance encounter leads Ashley to wonder if maybe she can help Brady find the girl he can't forget. Ashley's family is skeptical. Should she spend so much time helping a man she's never met? Will her husband, Landon, understand her intentions? And can healing and love grow from the ashes of a shattered yesterday?
