Seven former best friends reunite and struggle to heal after the tragic death of one of their own in this evocative and heartrending novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Gift and Her Secret.
When word had gotten out that Andy Warner had committed suicide, everyone in Walnut Creek, Ohio, had been shocked. For seven men and women in their twenties, some Amish, some Mennonite, and some English, each of whom had once counted his or herself as one of Andy’s best friends, it had been extremely painful.
And, maybe, a source of guilt.
Years have passed since they’d all been together last. Some of them got into trouble. A couple got into arguments. Eventually they all drifted apart. But even though none of them really saw each other anymore, there was a steadfast certainty that they’d always have each other’s backs—even when no one else did. Their bond was that strong…until Andy did the unthinkable.
Now the seven remaining friends, still reeling from Andy’s death, have vowed to look after each other again. As far as they’re concerned, it doesn’t matter that they’re now in their twenties and have drifted far apart. They need to connect again…for Andy.
With her signature “taut writing” (RT Book Reviews), Shelley Shepard Gray delivers a lyrical and heartfelt tale of friendship and forgiveness.

it was amazing
Book one in The Walnut Creek Series by Shelley Shepard Gray is The Patient One and it could not have a better title as far as I am concerned. I have always loved Shelley Shepard Gray and this book is a reminder yet again on how she can take such a heart wrenching subject like suicide and show us that we still can grow and learn.
When the childhood group of eight got together it has always been a wonderful gut time, never once did anyone of them stop to think about where they came from or who they were to them they were just the eight. They were friends. Amish, Mennonite and English, maybe that is part of what they loved about their group they excepted each other for who they were. Andy was quick to take the lead roll and through the years they all leaned on him as they had many adventures, but like everything we grow up and take new paths in life.
It’s a strange new path that brings heart break and at the same time the childhood eight to once again reunite, learning their leader has committed suicide has left the remaining seven reeling but non more than Marie an Enlisher in the group and John B. And Amish man in the group together they were always close but how will they navigate this tragedy as a group? And together? And taking the change of a new path Marie has decided that this has to be the Catellus she needed to move home and back to be among the now Seven.
How do we deal with a death? Then when it’s Suicide does that make it harder or not? Shelley Shepard Gray has done an excellent job at tackling this difficult subject, I found myself emotional one minute and laughing the next. I was pulling for Marie and John.
And I am really looking forward to book two in the series. You will want to read this emotionally packed book. - About 8 different friends that went through life together and went through a lot together .
- THE PATIENT ONE is the first book in the Walnut Creek Series by Shelley Shepard Gray. It is the story of The Eight. They are eight friends who are Amish, Mennonite, and Englisch. Everyone including the eight are shocked to learn that Andy, one of The Eight, has committed suicide. The Eight have been friends since they were kids and have always looked to Andy as their leader of their group. This story is about the seven remaining members coming to terms with Andy’s death, grieving for their friend, and struggling to heal. I have been reading Shelley’s books for years and THE PATIENT ONE is now one of my very favorites by her.
Shelley Shepard Gray sure knows how to make the reader feel as if they are right there at the kitchen table with this gang of friends, with all their troubles and THE PATIENT ONE is exactly that! She made me sad, then the next moment I was smiling and giggling out loud! You can never go wrong with a Shelley Shepard Gray book if you are a fan of the Christian fiction genre. All of her characters feel genuine and relatable and put your emotions on one heck of a roller coaster ride. As you are reading, you will find yourself cheering for all of them, praying they can work out their problems and be happy once again. You will also wonder how much heartache a group of friends can stand before it completely breaks down and splits.
THE PATIENT ONE is a heart tugging story filled with patience, loneliness, heartbreak, and love that will hold you hostage until the very last page. Once I started this heartwarming story, it was very hard to put down! I really prayed that Marie would be able to convince John that she was ready to move forward with her feelings for him and that he deserved to be loved and cherished. Shelley Shepard Gray isn’t afraid to write about subjects out of the norm as far as the Christian Fiction genre goes. Oh, as a warning to the reader, keep the tissues handy and do not read the ending in a public place unless you don’t mind crying in front of strangers! I’m so excited to continue catching up on all of Shelley Shepard Gray’s previous books. Now I have to patiently wait for the next book in this wonderful new series!
