Reviewed by Christina Wantz Fixemer

Dori Morales is her nephew’s legal guardian. JT, only a few weeks old, lost his parents in a tragic accident. Now Dori wants, more than anything, to be a great parent to the tiny boy. Unfortunately, this means sharing some of the responsibilities with her brother-in-law, Chase Garrett. Dori harbors a great deal of resentment against JT’s long-lost uncle—and his father.

Chosen as the executor for his brother’s estate, Chase wants to have an active role in his nephew’s life. Years of estrangement from his older brother have laid a great burden across his shoulders. He doesn’t want to miss his chance to be close with JT.

Can Dori do the things she must in order to keep custody of JT? Even if it means moving past her suspicions and fears to see the doors God has opened for her?

In this tender love story, Whren explores the meaning of forgiveness by tracking a young woman’s journey through a tumultuous period. The poignant writing treats the reader to a harvest of emotional ups and downs, proving that the meat of the story is not in the happy ending, but in the journey. The story, the message, and the writing are true.

This is a tale with unexpectedly warm heart.
