This is the eighth book I've read by Mildred Colvin and so far I think it may be my favorite! I also think I prefer her contemporary writing to her historical fiction. But I digress. This story takes up where The Child Is Mine left off. Here the main character, Lori Henderson is thrown back into contact with Ron Henderson, her ex-husband of two years. At first, he is so mean to her that I almost hoped that the writer would introduce another love interest for her. But, as the characters eventually face the reason they divorced in the first place they also begin to heal emotionally. Both of them need to reconnect with God through Jesus as well, and I'm so glad that Ms. Colvin stresses the importance of that. There is a bit more kissing in this book, but I think that's to be expected since they were married at one time. I didn't feel the book was inappropriate in any way, and I'm a pretty harsh judge where that is concerned. There is a good bit of sadness in the book, with one character dealing with a very serious illness, I won't say any more, but I put two and two together pretty early on and I'm sure most readers would as well. Even so, I found this book to be the kind I couldn't put down until the end and I really hope Ms. Colvin will continue to write in this genre!
