Product Description<\/p>\n

It was the surprise of a lifetime for recluse Molly McCreight when single dad Ethan Hunter entrusted her with his infant daughter while he delivered medicine to an elderly man during an ice storm. Past experience had taught Molly how fragile life could be, but she was touched by this stranger’s faith in her abilities. Once the storm had passed, though, and her guests returned home, normalcy eluded Molly. The Hunters’ presence had brought much-needed joy to her quiet world, but their absence threatened to crush her forever. Still, was she ready to admit that this tiny family held the key to the future she’d always secretly craved?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This book had an unusual conflict: the heroine, Molly, is afraid to care for infants. Her nephew died of SIDS while in her care, and she questions her ability to care for babies. When Ehtan is stranded in her home during an ice storm, she’s forced to care for his infant while he delivers medicine to a cancer victim. <\/p>\n

The two are immediately attracted to one another, and Molly discovers that Ethan is a fairly new Christian who’s caring for his infant daughter alone.<\/p>\n

Molly is estranged from her sister due to her infant nephew’s sudden death. Molly’s sister blames her for the tragedy, and Molly becomes a recluse, refusing to interact with others as she abaondons her church family.<\/p>\n

Showing patience, faith, and healing, this novel shows the meaning of foregiveness. It’s an emotional and enjoyable read.<\/p>\n
