More from Jill

It happened in slow motion.

I was traveling on the interstate at 65 mph, in the far-left lane. The traffic was heavy but moving.

Then the unthinkable happened. A wheelbarrow fell off the back of a pickup truck in front of my car.

Swerving to my right lane wasn’t an option, it was full of cars. The left shoulder was narrow and led to a steep drop off.

I gripped the wheel and had a split second to weigh my options. If I maintained my course, the wheelbarrow would burst through my windshield. If I went to the right, I could cause a multi-car pileup. There was a tractor trailer close behind me, so I couldn’t hit my brakes.

I prepared myself for the worst. Then I prayed to God to help me.

Moments later, when I was safely off the interstate, I burst into tears. I was still alive. No one was injured. But how? I couldn’t recall how I got to the exit ramp. How was I able to guide my car around the wheelbarrow?

Later, I realized that God was truly in control of my life. Growing up in the church and listening to my grandmother, I had always known God loved me. But that day, I felt His love more than I ever had my life. He wanted me to live. But why?

I’d like to think that He wasn’t quite finished with me. That maybe He had better things in store for me. Perhaps He blessed me with a gift to weave together a story that can give a person hope. A story that can bring a little light into what is sometimes a dark and scary world. After all, I didn’t grow up wanting to be a writer. Like that day on the interstate, it’s all God’s goodness.

MY REVIEW 

This story is a look at second chances while dealing with the past. I absolutely adored the triplets . Children deal with loss different ways. These poor children  were abandoned by both parents at such a young age. Tucker seems to be having the  hardest time. He blames himself for them leaving. He thinks if he wasn’t so shy or maybe if he did better at things they wouldn’t have left. My heart went out to him as he carries such a big burden. 

Meg steps up to take care of her nieces and nephew. Now she faces raising them on her own, running the B&B the parents abandoned and digging herself out of financial debt. I liked that she never once regretted her decision and shows the children unconditional love. Her plate is full and then someone checks into the B&B that will change everything. I’m sure she is not prepared for the new guest especially since it is someone from her past. 

Luke is a well known bull rider who has come back to his hometown to recover from an injury. The book goes  into more about his relationship with Meg so I will leave that  for readers to discover on their own. I like how Luke steps up to help Meg fix up the B&B and spends time getting to know the children. Tucker seems drawn to Luke and they form a special bond. I did worry what would happen when Luke decides to go back to Colorado. 

I loved how the author lets  us see what children go through when they lose a parent. For them it was hard to understand why their parents chose to leave them. These moments in the story are emotional and tug on your heart as the children yearn for a family. The faith element is good as Tucker continues to ask God for a family. The ending is sweet and shows how forgiveness heals broken hearts. 

“Love is never complicated when you follow your heart.”

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
