“Flying Lessons” by H. Lovelyn Bettison is a novel that brings warm story about two relationships, about the loss experiences and moving on with our lives.Life for Henry and his daughter Chandra almost stopped 16 years ago when her mother and Henry wife suddenly died. Back then Chandra was a 13 years old happy girl full of life and today almost nothing remained of that girl, while she is just living her day after day.Her father although 16 years had passed from their family tragedy is still overwhelmed with guilt because he worked a lot to make his loved ones happy while spending a little time with them, and then overnight he lost everything. Now he is retired, feeling lonely and old…And then two new people will enter into the lives of a father and daughter; Chandra will find someone to live with, and Henry will find friend and something more in a neighbor who pretends her late husband is still living.Slowly their relationships will start to change their lives for the better…H. Lovelyn Bettison wrote beautiful story about dealing with loss in our lives, about guilt and forever missed opportunities.She builds her, a bit short, story slowly, without the hectic pace, but brings the reader to the discovery of some of life's small wisdoms that although known, we often forget.It’s especially interesting that although young, author sends a strong and beautiful message that is never too late for true love, that age isn’t an obstacle which should prevent anyone in trying again to find happiness and new love.This is the first novel from H. Lovelyn Bettison I read and due to her undisputed talent for writing warm emotional life stories I’m sure she has good perspectives for successful writing career.And due to that I recommend her book to all of us which are living in the crazy rhythm of life forgetting about the little things that make life beautiful…
