title: Courageous Love
author: Lawson, Jayne
description: Dr. Jessica Carr knows all about saving lives. An accomplished emergency room trauma surgeon, she is part of an elite team of dedicated doctors and nurses at Eastmont Hospital. When tragedy strikes at home, her faith in God is tested as she tries to move forward. Continued difficulties threaten to overwhelm her, until finally, on a whim, Jessica decides to accept a temporary position as a summer camp doctor in Mexico. Working with Ryan Devereaux, a pastor whose life has been poured into the small community of Santa Molina, Jessica witnesses faith in action when a catastrophic hurricane descends upon the Yucatan peninsula. When she returns home to California, her life has changed once again, but not as she had expected. Will Jessica find the courage to follow God's leading despite the conflicting emotions of her heart? Jayne Lawson is also the author of Reluctant Love and Healing Love, the first two novels in the Eastmont series. Her faith-based stories are filled with accumulated memories from her years of working as a registered nurse. When not writing, she enjoys traveling and homeschooling her granddaughters. She lives in northeast Georgia with her husband, John. "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer." Psalm 19:14
