The #1 New York Times–bestselling author “skillfully weaves a tale of divine love coming to those most in need in this romantic tearjerker” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Brady Bradshaw was a child when the Oklahoma City bombing killed his mother. While visiting the memorial site on the anniversary, he met Jenna Phillips, who was also a child when her parents were killed in the attack. Brady and Jenna shared a deep heart connection and a single beautiful day together. That was eleven years ago, but Bradley never forgot her. Every year, Bradley leaves a note for her at the memorial, putting his faith in God that he might find her again.

This year, while on a spring break trip, Ashley Baxter Blake and her sister Kari Baxter Taylor and their families visit to the memorial’s famous Survivor Tree. When a chance moment reveals Brady’s troubled heart to Ashley, she feels compelled by God to help him find Jenna. But will it work? Will Ashley’s husband, Landon, understand her intentions? And is a shared heartache enough reason to fall in love?

In To The Moon and Back, Karen Kingsbury shares an unlikely love story of healing, redemption, hope, and the belief that sometimes a new tomorrow can grow from the ashes of a shattered yesterday.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Kingsbury skillfully weaves a tale of divine love. . .in this romantic tearjerker.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review) )

"Heart tugging and emotional... will touch readers deeply." (Romantic Times)

“Kingsbury writes with seemingly effortless poetic elegance, capturing the tender, intimate moments of daily family life as well as heart-wrenching flashbacks to fatal tragedy. A moving story of survival, of faith, and of beauty from the ashes.” (Booklist)

I have had the privilege of hearing Karen Kingsbury speak at a Women of Joy conference (in Oklahoma City of all places) some years ago. I had never read one of her books but, I remember her speaking about how people would come up to her and ask how her characters were doing and how she would cry if one of them died. She said she felt they were family to not only her but, her readers as well. I now see why.

My best friend’s birthday is April 19th and she turned 10 the day the bomb went off in 1995. That day is forever etched in my mind. I don’t know why I picked this for my first Karen Kingsbury read. Perhaps it was the fact that I was just there in April for the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon and got to see the memorial again. It is an amazing place if you haven’t been.

To the Moon and Back is a beautiful story of survival, grace, and God’s providence. If you have read all of the Baxter Family stories or if this is the first one you pick up (like me), I know there is something in it for you to love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Kingsbury Book in Years
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2018

I loved this book. It made me cry. It was sweet. It was powerful. It hung together.

I’m going to try to comment without spoilers. I loved the juxtaposition between the Baxter family story—Amy’s story in particular—and the main storyline. In the previous book, the Baxter part felt forced and tacked on. Not this time. It merged beautifully.

Ashley has always been my favorite Baxter, and I LOVED her part in this story. It was completely consistent with who Ashley is.

One tiny little quibble: This is my favorite Baxter book since Sunset, which I loved. At the end of Sunset, Janessa and Sophie were born on the same day in the same hospital. This was a major plot point—that Ashley’s baby girl and Dayne’s were born on the same day, after Ashley had been so instrumental in reuniting Dayne with his family. So why is Sophie 8 and Janessa 6 in the recap at the end of the book? I know Karen said that she’d “taken some liberties with the ages,” but the fact that Sophie and Janessa were born on the same day was a pretty big deal. PLEASE, Karen, fix this in the future Baxter books!

This book really touches a special place in my heart. I was, for a long a non believer in GOD. Something happened and I was in a very bad spot. I dropped to my knees and prayed. I said GOD if you are real, right now would be the time to prove it, and he did just that. Instantly he answered me. The only way to describe the amount of love and joy I felt in that single moment is it was almost as if I was floating in the air surrounded by light and wraped in a hug. Amazing book. Thank you so much for this, I really needed a reminder and this book helped me with that.

Though I didn't realize at the time I picked up this novel, it was the perfect memorial read for timing near 9/11 !
Author Karen Kingsbury portrayed the fallout & aftermath of the huge Tragedy of the Oklahoma City bombing with such realistic strokes, both subtle & palpable...whether for that devastation or 9/11, which often overshadows the Oklahoma tragedy.
Years before 9/11, I too visited the memorial in Oklahoma City. I meant to stay an hour or less, but was so moved by the site, chairs, tree, time stamped book ends & memorabilia inside, I stayed for over three hours. The book brought to life that memory & the reality & heroism, pain & loss we who are distant survivors sometimes, but never should, forget.

When I was in college, I cried while reading a book. My roommate took a picture. I always think of that moment when I cry reading any other book. I will add, Karen Kingsbury did it again! The story line was top notch. The truths presented did not err. Sweetness, love, honesty, integrity and so much more fill the pages of this book. Sometimes, one has to experience loss in order to understand but Karen Kingsbury has explained it well. I will return to read this book again as time goes by. Thanks again KK! I cried but they were sweet tears touching a heart that knows.

Words cannot express the dynamics provided to me through the experience of becoming part of learning what it really means to become a survivor. I , too, am a survivor and Amy’s experience of becoming a survivor caused me to be reminded that becoming a survivor not only demands that we must admit to surviving one’s own circumstance but we must put actions to those words, as well. Besides pulling on our boots and putting one foot in front of the other is important but should include a compulsory expectation to share with others what God has done for us. Thank u Karen for bring that reaction and responsibility to the forefront of my own life that I can not only rejoice in what God has and will continue to do as He teaches us to live for Him.

I love, love, love the Baxter family. Being able to read more about them in this book was absolutely wonderful. You don't need to have any prior knowledge of the Baxters to thoroughly enjoy the story of Brady and Jenna. An outstanding story written with such God-given talent. Touching, uplifting, and powerful. Highly recommended.
