BOOK REVIEW: Bigger Than Us by Debbie Burns

Bigger Than Us by Debbie Burns is a heartwarming story of second chances. 

Maddie Trudeau has just lost her husband, Landon, to a motorcycling accident. Her first priority  is seeing her five-year-old twins through the tragedy. But Maddie’s heartbreak is not limited to widowhood. Before his death, Maddie had been on the verge of divorcing him for the chaos he made of their lives.

Unfortunately, the chaos does not end with his death. Maddie still has to deal with her controlling, narcissistic mother-in-law, her own mother’s flower-child behavior, and Noel, her husband’s best friend, a man with whom she’d once been in love, a man who knows all her husband’s secrets and is conflicted about spilling them.

And then, there is Jordan, a younger woman, fighting depression as a single mother with no support network and a baby whose resemblance to Landon is unmistakable.

This is a beautiful novel of grief, compassion, and abiding love.
