An inspiring fiction story from the bestselling author of War Room

Grayson Hayes doesn’t remember things as well as he used to, but he’s sure his time is running out. Diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s, he realizes he has a small window of time left to right a terrible injustice―he just can’t remember what it is.

Convinced of the importance of his mission, he embarks on a journey to the small West Virginia town of his childhood hoping he can put together the fractured pieces of his memory and set things right. But as the past becomes more clear, he wonders if God forgives the sins he can’t remember.

A thought-provoking story with challenging themes, this book deals with issues like
  • what it’s like to care for a loved one with memory loss,
  • how to live when you feel like you’re losing yourself,
  • what it is that gives value to a human life, and
  • the eternal power of forgiveness and second chances.
Saving Grayson is a wrenching yet hopeful story of a journey to right unknown wrongs and of holding on to what you know even when it feels like everything is slipping away.

Editorial Reviews

Review

From the first haunting line of Saving Grayson, premier storyteller Chris Fabry mesmerizes with the tale of a man at war with the ticking clock of his own fragile mind. Employing the epitome of his prodigious evocative skills, the Christy Hall of Fame novelist takes us on a heartrending journey of pain and ultimately hope, redemption, and forgiveness. Jerry B. Jenkins

From the Back Cover

How far would you go to love someone well?

Grayson Hayes is a sharp-tongued, witty wordsmith. But the stream of language has become a trickle as words skitter from his mind. Dreading this growing loss and desperate to care for his wife after he’s gone, he hatches a plan that requires a cross-country road trip to the West Virginia of his youth.

On the journey, Gray encounters people, places, and forgotten wrongs done that have greatly affected others and shaped his own story. What is the value of a life that diminishes daily? Will Gray find the peace and resolution he’s searching for? And what does love look like for those who surround this force of nature?

In Saving Grayson, bestselling and award-winning author Chris Fabry takes us into a world of love and loss, dementia and startling clarity, hope and despair. We shake our heads (and sometimes laugh) at Gray’s crusty antics. We share his fear of what’s to come. And we root for him and those who love him to find answers before the words become a distant memory.

All my stories are prayers from a wounded heart. As you enter each one, I hope you’ll sense that struggle and pain and questions are not just part of life but part of how you can be drawn deeper into it. A Piece of the Moon is the book I’ve waited more than 40 years to write. It combines my love for radio with a quirky cast of characters who need a second chance in a world that judges and marginalizes. There’s also a faith angle to the story that leads to a mystery to solve. I hope it sings in your soul.

Many of my stories are set in my home state of West Virginia. I was born there in 1961. I caught the writing bug early, but didn’t have a vision or encouragement for my words until much later. I wrote a lot of children’s books in the late 1990s and had my first novel for adults, Dogwood, published in 2008. It received a Christy Award in 2009.

Then came June Bug, a novel loosely based on Les Miserables. Almost Heaven released next and won a Christy Award, as well as the 2011 Christian Book Award for Fiction.

Not in the Heart also received a Christy Award. Borders of the Heart followed our move to Tucson, Arizona. Every Waking Moment and its sequel, Looking Into You, were award winners as well. The Promise of Jesse Woods was a coming-of-age tale again set in West Virginia. Then, my 80th published book, Under a Cloudless Sky, was set on Beulah Mountain, WV.

In 2018, I was honored to be inducted into the Christy Award Hall of Fame as a five-time award recipient for my work in Christian fiction.

I've also crafted four novels based on screenplays. The Song, War Room, Overcomer, and Lifemark were written for the screen and I helped bring them to the page.

I am a graduate of the W. Page Pitt School of Journalism at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia, and was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2019. I have been married to Andrea since 1982. We have nine children and we now live near Tucson, AZ.

Really great book for caregivers!
Had a hard time putting this book down! I have been caring for my parents in my home for their final years. My Dad had Parkinsons and died in December. My mom is in late stage vascular dementia and doesn't remember he is gone. She still looks for him everyday. I get so bogged down with doctors appointments, activities, and researching the medical details of dementia so i can care for my mom well. Really loved THIS story. It pulled me out my head to help me get a view and understanding of the heart of it! So great!! ❤️

I liked the mix of light and heavy moments, the suspense as the story unfolds and the depiction of Gray's slide into memory loss. I also appreciated the way the characters learn to lovingly redirect but also show their hurt and exhaustion. Anyone who has cared for a parent or loved one with dementia will find this book painfully beautiful.

4.0 out of 5 stars A heartbreaking and heartfelt story that realistically portrays an Alzheimer's journey
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2023
Verified Purchase
I chose to read this book for one reason: Alzheimer's. As my husband has early-onset Alzheimer's, I'm always curious to read others' perspectives on it, and I must say that Fabry did an admirable job of getting into the mind of some with this horrible disease. How Grayson's Alz presents itself is different from my husband's, but when it comes to dementias, no two people are alike. What's important is that this story does give a true-to-life glimpse into the mind of someone with Alzheimer's, and realistically portrays a caregiver's struggles.

Besides that aspect, I enjoyed the story and appreciated how Fabry leaked bits of backstory throughout the book, leaving some until the very end, when the puzzle pieces come together creating an evocative picture. Which, ironically, is the opposite of Alzheimer's, where the pieces of our brain puzzle disappear one by one, or often several pieces at a time, until only random, unconnected pieces of the brain remain.

I’m an adult child of divorced missionary parents. My mother in law suffered from dementia. This novel resonated with me in so many arenas. Love is a difficult journey when the heart walks with a limp, but Love is the only exit out of despair. This story captures the miracle-working power of Love. Chris’s gift of words never fails to amaze me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Heavy Topic - Hopeful Ending
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024
Readers first encounter Grayson, who can't remember why he's sitting in his garage with a nail gun in his hand and wearing boxer shorts. The novel depicts the struggle for Grayson, his wife, and others who love him in an effort to capture the stress of loving someone who is slipping away.
This gripping, heartbreaking novel explores dementia and Grayson’s last-ditch effort to solve a puzzle. I enjoyed how the author crafted a compelling narrative that compels readers to accompany Grayson as he investigates a murder and learns the truth about his own past. In an effort to remember the truth, Grayson is searching for it and is trying to capture it as quickly as possible in an attempt to remember it. Being a writer, he is disturbed that words aren’t coming to him as easily as they used to. This creates a compelling storyline. I was drawn to this story because it’s not your usual tale on this topic.
I liked what the author said about his book, “My hope is that the reader will see their own life through this story and, instead of avoiding pain, will embrace pain as much as possible to allow God access with his transforming power.”
This is an engaging novel that deals with dementia, facing your fears and has a mystery to solve. Grayson is a writer and is exasperated by the fact words don’t flow through him like they used to. This aspect of the story drew me in.
