Well, this one was better written, at least…
Family in His Heart
Gail Gaymer Martin
Steeple Hill Inspirational Romance (2008)
ISBN: 9780373874637
As a child Rona Meyers visited the Les Cheneaux islands with a friend. Now, it’s the one place she can think of to hide. Running from her past and family disappointments, caught up in doubts regarding God’s presence in her life, Rona finds herself in Upper Michigan looking for work and a place to heal.
Widower Nick Thornton needs a housekeeper to cook and clean for himself and his teenage son. A widower, he’s secure in his faith, but has doubts about the circumstances surrounding his wife’s death, and he’s worried about the choices his son is making. When he sees Rona in a local diner he feels an immediate connection, but isn’t sure that she feels the same.
This is a gentle, faith-based Christian romance novel - no sex, very little excitement of any sort, really; just the story of two people who are meant to be together finding each other and developing their faith and building a family together. On the whole, not a badly written book. In particular, Nick’s son is well written: a typical teenager - a bit rebellious, occasionally obnoxious and belligerent. His conversion is probably more dramatic than either of the two adults.
