This was the first book that I've read from this author but I'm certain that it will not be my last.  It's not often that you read such a heart warming story that is written by a man.  Losing Faith is a heartwarming feel good story with heartache, abuse, and forgiveness.Seth Storm had it all, a promising career as one of the best up and coming country music singers, a wife that he loved more than life itself and a daughter that he adored.  But after one tragic accident, he lost it all.  He walked away from his career and turned to the bottle after he lost his wife which lead to him losing his daughter, Faith as well.  Now broke but clean and sober, all he wants in life is to have Faith back but nothing is going his way.  One of the worse storms in the 10 years has hit Tennessee and canceled all flights out and to make matters worse, the last car was just rented out to the man in front of him in line.  This is his second and last chance that he has to prove that he can take care of Faith as she deserves to be raised.  He has to get out of Nashville and back to Fort Wayne, Indiana.Trista has to get out of town with her 15 year old daughter fast.  She's finally done what she should have done a long time ago and that is to leave the abusive relationship that she's in but with the impending storm, all flights are canceled out of Tennessee and now she and Savannah are driving to New Haven, Indiana in a beat up car that has seen better ways. With an abusive ex-fiancé hot on their trail and a teenager that doesn't want to leave her friends or her boyfriend, this trip isn't going to be an easy one.Fate steps in and lends a hand when all seems lost but again nothing is ever as easy as it seems.  I loved the characters in this story.  I felt for Seth and all that he had gone through and can understand why he blamed himself even though not all that had happened was his fault.  The relationship between Trista and Savannah, while rocky at times, was one that anyone with teenagers could relate to.And then there is Frank.  His character was amazing.  He always seemed to know what to say to help with the situation at hand.  The plot twist at the end really through me for a loop and made me cry as things come back full circle.  The epilogue was perfect and gave closer for everyone and left me happy tears.
