| I said a few years ago that Ms. Delia Latham was my favorite author. This latest of Ms. Latham's books is an inspired addition. It's obvious that she knows the God of which she writes. Destiny's Dream is the story of Destiny May, a woman who cared for her mother for the last five years of her life. She had siblings, brother Jeremy and sister Jenna. However, they were busy with their own lives and Destiny had taken over their mother's care fulltime.
Throughout the years taking care of her mother, Destiny spent time in prayer concerning her future. She felt led to open a Christian dating service which she named Solomon's Gate. Almost the last words her mother said to her were the scripture "For He shall give...His angels...charge over thee...." She immediately felt as if someone reached out and wrapped arms around her in a big hug. Destiny met Clay Gallagher when he entered the church just as the funeral for her beloved mother started. She couldn't understand why he kept making snide remarks concerning the woman's attitude and lack of spiritual demeanour. How could he be laughing at her precious mother's memory? He soon realized he was at the wrong funeral. Nevertheless, Destiny left the funeral with Clay and went for coffee -- much to the disagreement of her siblings. Ms. Latham has such a way about her writing that it is impossible for me to do justice to her abilities. I am amazed each time I read one of her books at how intensely she writes. She covers a myriad of situations easily—each one demands readers' attention. None distract from each other. It doesn't matter how many characters she involves, each is vitally important to the storyline. When I think I have it all figured out, she includes another element which takes her book another notch toward fabulous. Each interaction secures my attention even more. This book is a marvellous example of what is right in this world. I strongly encourage readers to rush to purchase this book. I cannot possibly recommend it highly enough. She should be in line for innumerable awards based on this book alone.
