The Missing Piece
By Carol McCormick

     Dylan Clark is down on his luck. He is recently separated from his wife, recovering alcoholic, and without a job. Desperate to make ends meet, he accepts a job at a local church as a custodian. Working at the church, Dylan becomes aquatinted with the pastor and is confronted with his weaknesses. I admired Dylan's character in the book because he knows about struggling and works hard to overcome his troubled past.

     Meanwhile, Lorraine (Dylan's wife) is getting on with her life, dating and working as a nurse. She has her own painful memories of her marriage to Dylan. She meets a man at the hospital who offers her a new life. But can Lorraine end her marriage to Dylan and move on without any regrets? Dylan and Lorraine's paths cross and they are faced with their unresolved feelings. Can they find The Missing Piece in their relationship?

     The characters in this story give a true account to a relationship in crisis. As a Christian, I found The Missing Piece inspiring and encouraging. The book gives its reader a testimony to God's power of change and forgiveness. I encourage anyone who desires a restoration of spirit to read The Missing Piece.
