Not My Hero

By Michelle Bolanger

Description:

Kennedy Bishop thought she knew her life until one night took everything.
After her husband dies in the line of duty, Kennedy is left grieving more than his loss. Buried beneath his heroism is the devastating debt left behind from his illegal gambling that strips Kennedy and her mother-in-law, Cora, of everything they own.
With nowhere left to turn, Kennedy follows Cora back to Dayton, Ohio. She’s reluctant, bitter, and unwilling to depend on anyone, especially God.
When Donovan Taylor, a compassionate businessman with a past of his own rescues a woman from the bottom of a ravine, he’s drawn to her by circumstance, and something deeper he can’t deny.
Both are shocked when Kennedy unknowingly goes to work for Donovan’s search and rescue company…unaware that his connection to her past could destroy any chance of trust between them.
As suspicion rises and Donovan’s powerful sister threatens to strip him of his inheritance for helping the wrong people, both Kennedy and Donovan are forced to confront a painful question:
Will they choose to give up the chance at love or trust that God is still writing a redemption story neither of them can see?
In this modern retelling inspired by the biblical story of Ruth, hope rises from heartbreak and love dares to take a chance.

Book Takeaway:

God provides a way.

Why the author wrote this book:

I couldn't find a modern retelling of the book of Ruth that I liked, so I wrote one.
