After reading Buried Treasures and now Light The Fire, I have found another great author. Mary Manners writes a great story of struggles that everyday people might go through. A story of guilt, tragedy, distrust, romance and forgiveness. Her characters are well written. Once I started reading this book it was hard to put down.Wanting a different life, Rena has left her hometown, without her parents consent, for New York City. Having made some bad decisions she is suffering the consequences of heartache and pain, guilt and distrust and feels she does not deserve any happiness. Her parents have refused to support her in any way.Cody is struggling with the death of his brother and  burdened with guilt. He is dedicated to helping his brother's wife and children.After Rena returns home she and Cody meet at a construction project for the homeless. Cody is attracted to Rena but she does not trust him or any man and pushes him away. Cody realizes she is carrying a heavy burden and is patient with her as he tries to find out what has happened in her life.  When he finds out will he be able to forgive her? Can Rena forgive herself and Cody himself?  What happens to Rena and her parents relationship?.A story that tells us of God's love and forgiveness no matter what we have done, if we seek Him.I recommend this book.I received this book from bookfun.org for my honest opinion and review.Review posted by Donna McGinnis
