If anyone reading loves someone living in this lifestyle, don’t force the issue or the book on them. Ryan’s Father is for anyone seeking freedom from the issue she writes about. And she writes something that I think is important not to overlook. At the end she shares her heart with readers in a tender way that embodies the story itself. Ryan’s Father isn’t an easy book to read because of the topic, but it’s important. That’s why June Foster is the perfect author to go there. The last “celebrity” to try created a firestorm. It isn’t easy or popular to address from a Biblical perspective. The issue itself is one most authors wouldn’t touch. The conflict is real, especially with strong secondary characters like Greg, Allen, and Dr.

The progression with both characters in their journeys is slow and natural. She developed Ryan and Sandy with layers of personality, issues, heart, and pain. Ryan’s Father is June’s best work to date. From faith forms a deep friendship, but something is in the way that Sandy can’t quite put her finger on. She meets Ryan during an earthquake and she’s instantly attracted to his faith. Sandy is a nurse who at surface looks like she’s had little trouble in her life. He’s had little support most of his life and yet through adversity, has a strong relationship with Christ.

The book is about Ryan, a teacher who has had to fight for everything he has. Ryan’s Father takes June’s writing and the reader to the next level.

In my case, spend a crazy amount of time to make sure once and for all I understand the difference between showing and telling. She takes time with others to share tips. She tackles hard subjects with a softness and grace that leaves the reader wanting more. June Foster is one of my favorite authors.
