An incredibly sweet story of how God can redeem the life we would consider the most irredeemable as well as the life that feels the least need to be redeemed. He redeems the seemingly impossible and brings love in the place of animosity. Beautifully written without being preachy, very natural, great suspense, great characters. (One note - the summary here on Goodreads is a bit off. See Amazon for a more accurate plot description.)
Jenny Stevens comes to the town of Kahlerville, Texas determined to find out more about her sister's death, and to take her sister's child, Rebecca home with her. She is not prepared to meet resistance, as the town's doctor, Dr. Grant Andrews has custody of Rebecca and is not willing to give her up. The longer she stays in this small town, the more she learns about herself, and the events surrounding her sister's death. As she comes to love Rebecca her niece as her own, and Dr. Andrews, she also finds herself in danger from her sister's old fiance. As she works with the people of the town to unravel the mystery her sister left behind, she also finds Christ who changes her life, and maybe even some the decisions she has to make.
I really show more loved this story, because of how different it was. It is definitely an involved story with mystery, intrigue, danger, and love. Although there are a few things in the book I rolled my eyes at a bit because of how corny they were or because I felt the author repeated herself, it did not take away from the story. Diann Mills has added a wonderful second book to this series! show less

Better then the first book; great suspense & romance. The relationship between Grant and Rebecca was so touching.
I just wish there was more about the secondary characters and the book didn't answer what happened to the money.
I can't wait for more in this series.

DiAnn Mills makes you want to keep reading until all is well. I usually read at night until I couldn't keep my eyes open. Not much else I can add, but I'm looking forward to reading the next one.
