title: The Heart's Forgiveness // Second Chance Forgiveness
author: Whren, Merrillee
description: Father Knows Best
  
  Raising daughters wasn't easy for a single dad, especially when one daughter was a troubled teen with questionable friends. So Grady Reynolds moved his family to small- town Pinecrest, Washington, hoping for a fresh start. Instead he found a reminder of the past: Maria Sanchez, his late wife's friend.
  
  Maria's life was busy, filled with mission trips and a job at her friend's charitable foundation. Helping Grady regain his lost faith should have been fairly easy for her. After all, they were neighbors and coworkers. Except Grady wasn't ready to give or receive forgiveness-- or love.
