Product Description
Now in trade paperback, bestselling author Karen Kingsbury delivers her heartrending novel about a young couple whose powerful love must face the ultimate challenge. Cody Gunner has no use for real love. Abandoned as a child by the person he needed the most, he swears he will never allow himself to lose again. Ali Daniels denies love as well. Carrying a terrible secret, she lives life to the fullest, taking risks and refusing relationships. When Cody and Ali meet, their first instincts are to hide behind their emotional walls, seemingly doomed to repeat the patterns they have established for most of their lives. But their attraction is too strong, and soon they're doomed in another way--for neither can avoid falling in love, regardless of the consequences. Only after three years--a thousand tomorrows later--do they realize at what cost their relationship comes. In the end, they must decide if love is worth the ultimate price.

 | This book was Amazing! Jan 3, 2009 |
| This was probably my favorite book of Karen's with the exception of the Baxter Series. It could make me cry, make me laugh...I fell in love with Cody and Ali. In fact this book was what caused me to write my research paper on Cystic Fibrosis. I loved the book =) | | |  | What happened? Sep 4, 2008 |
Karen Kingsbury has long been one of my favorite authors, but this book let me down. I found it exceedingly hard to believe that a thirteen year old boy, with absolutely no roughstock experience, climbed onto a bull and rode for eight seconds. I've seen bullriding--more importantly, I've seen bullriders who have never been on bulls before ride for the first time. NONE of them stayed on.
And then Ali--a girl with a fatal lung disease that holds her breath for the better part of twenty seconds? Even if her lungs were in top physical condition, it would be difficult at best, considering the fact that unless she's just hanging on and letting the horse do all the work, she's putting her body under stress and wouldn't be able to hold her breath for quite that long.
Ali seemed to have faith in God, but I never saw it in Cody. I wanted to like both of them, but I had a really hard time believing them. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but this book fell flat for me. | | |  | A Thousand Tomorrows - Kayla Weaver May 15, 2008 |
"Not Cody, please!" says Ali's mother. "Anyone but that Cody Gunner."
Any mother's dream is to have her little girl fall in love with "the perfect man." Cody Gunner didn't seem to fit Mrs. Daniels's fantasy.
No one ever thought it would happen, no one but Cody. Too busy to even think about love, Cody Gunner and Ali Daniels were focused on the prize, a national championship. Cody was concentrating on bull riding and Ali was concentrating on barrel racing. Both have pasts that give them the drive to ride. Both different, both tragic and both life changing. They are the only two in the whole tour who don't ride for the fame; they ride because they have to. Cody rides because of his father and Ali rides because of her sister, Ana. When Ali starts notice Cody she begins to fall for him, but finds out that it might not work due to what he has been through. She talks herself out of it because she doesn't want any distractions, and is determined to make the best of the few years of riding she has left. This wasn't ok with Cody and he tries to make their relationship work. But by pushing too hard, Cody could hurt the person he has ever loved, Ali. As the two rodeo stars struggled to stay at the top of their game, they find out that life is too short for regrets.
Anyone who wants a fast and furious read should consider A Thousand Tomorrows. It will keep you wanting more and will reveal questions you never would have asked yourself. This exciting love story addresses anyone with a passion for adventure and a little romance. Girls especially, will be kept interested by the "head over heels" type of love that the two stars share. This book will inspires many to follow their gut and go for what feels right. It also has some mystery and suspense that keeps the reader interested. The individual tragedies that Cody and Ali over come will motivate readers to achieve anything that seems impossible. I suggest A Thousand Tomorrows because it's an uplifting, mysterious and passionate story of two stubborn people with the same goal in life, success.
I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and I couldn't wait to get further into the book. I would strongly suggest reading this story because of the way it takes you to that "different place". It lets the reader's imagination run wild, makes you think about the unthinkable and answers questions I never thought could be answered. Read it, and you will never want to put it down.

| The was the first book I read by Karen Kingsbury and I am so glad I picked it up. It was fantastic. The characters completely draw you in until the tearful end. Have tissues ready. | | | | Light easy read Mar 3, 2008 |
| Nice easy read. A lot like "A Walk to Remember" in many ways, bad boy turned good. It kept my interest and it is a sweet story. I had no knowledge of Bull riding or barrel racing and I found that fascinating. Plot was predictable, but it was well worth reading. I like this author, but sometimes her books are too preachy, this one was perfect in that sense. | | | | heart warming book Jan 12, 2008 |
