Publisher's summary

From New York Times best-selling author Karen Kingsbury comes a new book featuring everyone's favorite family - the Baxters.

From the day they met, John and Elizabeth were destined to fall in love. Their whirlwind romance started when they were young college students and lasted nearly 30 years - until Elizabeth died of cancer.

So when John Baxter is asked to relive his long-ago love story with Elizabeth for his grandson Cole's heritage project, he's not sure he can do it. The sadness might simply be too great. But he agrees and allows his heart and soul to go places they haven't gone in decades. Back to the breathless first moments, but also to the secret heartbreak that brought John and Elizabeth together.

At the same time, Baxter family friend Cody Coleman is working through the breakup of his complicated relationship with Andi Ellison. He is determined to move on when a chance sighting changes his plans - and heart. Can Cody convince Andi to give their love another try, or is it time for them to say good-bye for good?

As school comes to an end, Cole presents his report on the love story between his grandparents John and Elizabeth Baxter. It is a tale that touches the hearts of the entire family and one that causes Cole to better understand his own beginning.

Whether you're meeting the Baxter family for the first time or finding them all over again, Love Story will stir your heart and remind you of the generational impact of love and the eternal bond of family.

Thank you for this gift

Karen’s books are always inspiring. This is not the first time I have read this book. It is always like the first time though. Christ’s love shines through these books. This one makes you think about all the stories in your life. Whether it be your love story, that of a family member or friend... or just the random encounter with a stranger that changed your life forever. Remember. Hang on to those memories. God is good

Great book

Loved the story of this book. Only problem is the male reader of this book sounded a bit robotic.

Beautiful

This story is beautiful. It took me back to my past relationships and family. Sad that we don’t always allow God to work through us to be better people. Elizabeth’s parent are more my experience with their ideas of Christianity. Kind of upside down but they loved there daughter and wanted the best for her. As a mother of a daughter I sympathize with there plight. Wilson is the character I would most like to emulate. God bless you Karen.

Blessed

The book was very well written, and even suspenseful. Both of the readers were excellent.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and others Mrs Kingsbury has written. It’s so refreshing to read such encouraging, faith building, clean books.

Sweet story

I found myself sweat right into the story and inspired to look at my own life. I really enjoyed it. I found myself in tears, and laughing as I could put myself in their shoes.
