| Hannah Johns had led a sheltered life. As the daughter of a preacher, she had lived at home with her parents and was always available to help in the church and community. Until, that is, she took a vacation of a lifetime to Yosemite National Park. That’s when her life changed forever. She met and married, within a week, the man she felt God had provided for her. However, the morning after the wedding night, he disappeared. She never heard from him again. She was left with a reminder of her wedding—a little boy she named Davey.
Brock Ellis, godson of the owner of the supper club where Hannah sang, bought the business and planned to turn it into a bar. He had no intention of keeping the present goody-goody setup. He had some problems remembering his past, because of a wreck that almost killed him. His nightmares and confusion that had started to ease up changed when he met Hannah. He couldn’t understand her hostility toward him. Ms. Delia Latham has, once again, fascinated me with her writing ability. I read this book previously—this updated version is fabulous. I love the way Latham takes her characters and develops them into multi-faceted people that capture the readers’ attention. The manner in which she presents her main couple is amazing. Her imagination and her storytelling skills are truly touched by God. The plot of this book was so unbelievable that it actually could have happened. I found it impossible to put the book down. Her secondary cast of characters were no less expanded. This book, once again, has proven that Latham has the ability to write a top-seller and create interest without compromising her principles. She was able to tell this story without explicit sexual content but still maintain reality. I highly recommend this book to everyone. If you’ve never read Delia Latham’s work, this would be an excellent place to start. You will definitely not be disappointed.
