Spring Hope

By Martha W. Rogers

Description:

Libby Cantrell’s life has gone from bad to worse since her mother’s death. With an abusive father, and life in a brothel, she sees no hope for her future until she gains the courage to make her escape one cold winter night.

When she arrives exhausted, hungry, and ill in Portersfield, Texas, Sheriff Cory Muldoon finds her in an alley and takes her to a doctor. Against Cory’s better judgment, Seth and Erin Winston take her in and offer her a job as a nanny for their young son. As a minister, Seth sees it as his duty to take care of the young woman. As a deputy, Cory sees it as his duty to find out the truth about her even as he is attracted to the waif of a young woman. An unexpected late winter storm and an accident at the river brings the two of them even closer.

As his love for her grows and winter becomes spring, will he be able to accept her as she is now and truly forget and forgive her sordid past?

Book Takeaway:

God's love and forgiveness covers all sin, no matter how heinous.

Why the author wrote this book:

It is the fourth book in a series, however, as the book evolved, I had to tell my own story through the eyes of the hero. It was a painful journey, but if someone's heart can be changed, the pain is nothing.
