The blog tour for UNTITLED by Jesseca Wheaton is rockin’ and rollin’! I’ll share my book review below but let’s recap on the tour details. (Hint: you DON’T wanna miss the giveaway!)
UNTITLED
Okinawa, 1945
Two brothers. Two Separate Paths.
A Navy corpsman assigned to the Marines, Jess Walker’s world is shaken as he struggles to aid the men around him. But the battlefield isn’t his hardest challenge. The nagging memory of how he lost his brother weighs on him, serving as a constant reminder of his failure. War has no mercy for anyone and Jess isn’t sure he can survive the war inside. As his world comes crashing down around him, he struggles to believe there is a future beyond the pain.
Clay Walker has moved on from the life he once lived. A successful Marine pilot, he wants nothing to do with his family and the God he left behind. Japan is on the brink of surrender when his unit is shipped off to Okinawa, and it’s there that Clay is forced to realize his past is not as deeply buried as he thought. Faced with heavy losses and questions without answers, Clay has a choice to make. Is he willing to step back and let God take the controls? Or is it too late for a second chance?
As WWII rages, the two brothers must face their demons — or be lost to the burning world around them.
Coming November 11th

BOOK REVIEW
UNTITLED is one of the best books I’ve ever read… heart-wrenching, beautiful, and packed full of bittersweet truths.
There was never a dull moment during this book and I was lost in the story. I rooted for characters, understood them, and wept as they learned lessons I struggle to grasp myself.
Themes of forgiveness, of giving ourselves grace, of believing God is much bigger than us… they can be hard to remember. This world is broken, ugly, and dark. Sometimes, we’re broken, ugly, and dark, too. But Jesus can make us white as snow. Jesus can fill us with joy and peace. Even if there are things we cannot understand, His everlasting love remains. Does this do away with pain or mistakes or the ugliness of the world? Not always. But Jesus is worth it, anyway.
I needed this book so, so much. I needed to see faith put into action in scenarios that scare me. I needed to see siblings united so I could hold onto that hope, however vain. I needed to see a broken world and how the world keeps spinning, anyway.
This novella is raw and bold and beautiful. The story is well paced and full of thought-provoking themes. The characters are realistic and vivid. There’s a good dose of snarky humor (my favorite), tight comradeship, and a hint of romance. I adored this book and cannot wait for it to help other people like it helped me!
