Synopsis

Grayson Hayes doesn’t remember things as well as he used to, but he’s sure his time is running out. Diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s, he realizes he has a small window of time left to right a terrible injustice―he just can’t remember what it is.

Convinced of the importance of his mission, he embarks on a journey to the small West Virginia town of his childhood hoping he can put together the fractured pieces of his memory and set things right. But as the past becomes more clear, he wonders if God forgives the sins he can’t remember.

A thought-provoking story with challenging themes, this book deals with issues like what it’s like to care for a loved one with memory loss, how to live when you feel like you’re losing yourself, what it is that gives value to a human life, and the eternal power of forgiveness and second chances. Saving Grayson is a wrenching yet hopeful story of a journey to right unknown wrongs and of holding on to what you know even when it feels like everything is slipping away.

About The Author

All my stories are prayers from a wounded heart. As you enter each one, I hope you’ll sense that struggle and pain and questions are not just part of life but part of how you can be drawn deeper into it. A Piece of the Moon is the book I’ve waited more than 40 years to write. It combines my love for radio with a quirky cast of characters who need a second chance in a world that judges and marginalizes. There’s also a faith angle to the story that leads to a mystery to solve. I hope it sings in your soul. Many of my stories are set in my home state of West Virginia. I was born there in 1961. I caught the writing bug early, but didn’t have a vision or encouragement for my words until much later. I wrote a lot of children’s books in the late 1990s and had my first novel for adults, Dogwood, published in 2008. It received a Christy Award in 2009. Then came June Bug, a novel loosely based on Les Miserables. Almost Heaven released next and won a Christy Award, as well as the 2011 Christian Book Award for Fiction. Not in the Heart also received a Christy Award. Borders of the Heart followed our move to Tucson, Arizona. Every Waking Moment and its sequel, Looking Into You, were award winners as well. The Promise of Jesse Woods was a coming-of-age tale again set in West Virginia. Then, my 80th published book, Under a Cloudless Sky, was set on Beulah Mountain, WV. In 2018, I was honored to be inducted into the Christy Award Hall of Fame as a five-time award recipient for my work in Christian fiction. I've also crafted four novels based on screenplays. The Song, War Room, Overcomer, and Lifemark were written for the screen and I helped bring them to the page. I am a graduate of the W. Page Pitt School of Journalism at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia, and was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2019. I have been married to Andrea since 1982. We have nine children and we now live near Tucson, AZ. Stop by my website at ChrisFabry.com to learn about my writing and radio endeavors. Email me at chris@chrisfabry.com

Goodreads review by Chautona on August 15, 2023

One of the best books I've read all year. Top five for sure--maybe top three. One could oversimplify this book into calling it a "road trip gone wrong... and right," but why oversimplify something so beautifully complex. Like the gospel (not equating the two!), the root of this story is love. Love fo......more

Goodreads review by Chris on July 08, 2023

There are two parts to this book, one is the story of Grayson as he tries to make peace with his past. A past he does not remember. He wants to ask for forgiveness for things that he doesn’t know what they are. The second part is what diagnosis Grayson received. He has Alzheimer’s. It is a downward......more

Goodreads review by Andrea on September 11, 2023

This was the first time reading a book by this author. He did a wonderful job with helping the reader see life through the eyes of someone with Alzheimer's or dementia. This touched me since my mother-in-law passed away from dementia a year and a half ago. Grayson's experiences brought tears to my e......more

Goodreads review by Stephanie on November 11, 2023

This was a touching story, at times difficult to read because of the character having Alzheimer's, but that's what made it so good. The author captured the nitty gritty of the disease and all involved. Thanks to netgally for the arc......more
