Book Description:
After a buggy accident when she was a teenager, Anna Flaud was told she would never walk again. Unwilling to be an object of pity, she put aside her dreams of marriage and found purpose as an assistant at a Community Care Center. Now she has a chance to fulfill her dearest wish—motherhood—and adopt three siblings with special needs. Yet the opportunity comes with a condition Anna isn’t sure she can meet: finding a husband.
Levi King began working at the center as penance after a careless mistake led to tragedy. Though he’s dealing with his own heartbreak, he’s drawn to Anna, cheering her on as she strives to regain her mobility. Her quiet determination, her generous heart—these are qualities to cherish in a wife. Still, Anna’s plans give him pause. Given his past, Levi hardly trusts himself to care for one child, let alone three. Yet together, perhaps they could forge a family made sturdier by all they’ve overcome . . .

My Thoughts: Great Story
This was a great story with elements of faith, overcoming pain and difficulties, romance, and humor. The characters were wonderful, especially the main characters, Anna Flaud and Levi King. They were very special and I enjoyed seeing how their relationship developed. The story also covers some topics that I rarely have found in this genre, and this made it even more special. While some may disagree with one of the topics that was dealt with in the story, I feel it was a good addition. Yes, this is a story of fiction, but the topic is a very real one. I applaud the author for so flawlessly making it a part of this great story.
Book Quotes:
"If we find ourselves trying to figure out how things will work out, we're taking over God's responsibility. Ours is to humble ourselves and stop relying on our own limited human knowledge."
Please help me to let go of my fear and my need to control the outcome of every situation and instead to trust You every step of the way.
