This is a story that I found to be filled with glimpses of God's word throughout this very enjoyable story. Rae Stevens is a writer and loves her job. She is trying to get over a very public breakup with a sportscaster. Trevor broke her heart and she doesn't feel like she can trust a man again. Malachi Burke is a very famous Major League Baseball player who finds himself in the same small town as Rae. He has come to oversee a baseball camp for local boys. He has also had a recent breakup and knows coming to the small town is just what he needs.
Malachi has family in the small town and he decides to stay with his grandmother , who is affectionately known as Gran'nola. I fell in love with this character. She is fiesty, God fearing and a heart as pure as snow. I wanted to be sitting there watching her cook or just talking to her. The author developed her character so well, I wanted to read more about her. Malachi has noticed that Gra'nola is starting to show signs of forgetfulness and becomes concerned. Will he have to make some living arrangements for Gran'nola so she will be safe?
The story will encourage readers as the relationship between Rae and Malachi slowly develop with their faith at the center. They each have a deep relationship with God and makes decisions with His help. There is trust issues they must deal with, but only through God can they overcome their hesitation. When Gran'nola turns up missing one day, will Rae and Malachi push their differences aside to find her? What happens when people from their past show up and interfere in their lives? I did like Malachi's ex girlfriend because she sure was determined to get her man back. I laughed at her subtle jabs she gave Rae as she believed she was going to get Malachi back .
I can't express enough how nice it was to read a story that dealt with real issues that we each may encounter and read the author's words of wisdom as she used God as her guide to write an uplifting story. We all need to learn how to trust with a pure heart, love unconditionally and let God direct our path. This sentence from the story was so powerful I wanted to end my review with it. "If God ordained it, He'll help you maintain it.
I received a copy of this book from The BookClub Network for an honest review
