| In a Wal Mart, Kristen Hanson hears crying that wrings her heart. In an aisle she finds a little girl. At first fear keeps her from approaching, but a heart-rending wail makes her decision and she picks up the child. She asks the child if she's lost her mommy and is told it's her daddy she's lost-and what a daddy Kristen sees as the Reverend Michael Holliman comes into the aisle frantically looking for his escaped daughter. As gorgeous a hunk as Kristen has ever seen, she's at once interested, but reminds herself that she's sworn off men.
Michael Holliman is a widower raising his two-year-old handful, Hope. He has the help of the ladies of his congregation, but not a one of them can tell his headstrong daughter no. Across from his church is a house they've inherited from a deceased member. While they mull over what use it is to be to, they decide to rent it out. Kristen's brother-in-law suggests her, and she is interviewed by Michael and accepted. Both are surprised to recognize each other from the Wal Mart incident. Attraction grows between them. Kristen is very interested in the handsome minister, but fears her history has left her no place in the life of man of Christ. Michael is surprised to find his feeling for Kristen growing, but he has his own devils to battle, and then there is the watching eyes and wagging tugs of a select few of his congregation. This is a delightful story. I loved seeing the love blossom between these two. If you'd like to read a tale that lifts your heart and leaves you smiling, then this book is for you.
