"Carol James tells beautiful stores that will capture your heart. She has quickly become a go-to author for me, reliable and consistent with a clear message of hope."
Stacey Weeks, award-winning author of In Too Deep.
"One of the best romances I've read. The author's three-dimensional characters allow the reader to experience the joy, sorrow, pain, and love that Ethne and Daniel feel. I rode the roller coaster of emotions in every page of this book, through Ethne's troubled past and with each cautious step as she learned to trust. A five-star novel."
Kathleen Neely, author of The Street Singer
"I was captured from the beginning. I couldn't put it down... I love the characters, the mixture of serious and humorous moments. Carol James did a great job of showing that God loves us where we are. I would recommend this book to everyone."
