For the Love of a Child

By Lee Carver

Description:

Five-year-old Abby is losing her battle with leukemia. Her only hope is a newly developed treatment her mother, Celeste, can't afford, and their insurance won't cover.
After escaping a brief, abusive marriage to a drug dealer, Celeste Barr vowed never to marry again. With Abby's life hanging in the balance, she signs up for the therapy, trusting that God will make a way.
Still grieving the wife he lost to cancer, Hunter Harrington believes his dreams of family died with her, until he meets Celeste and Abby. Out of a growing conviction that God has brought them into each other's lives for a reason, he offers an extraordinary solution: marry him, and Abby will qualify immediately for the coverage she desperately needs.
As hope begins to replace despair, a marriage born of necessity slowly unfolds into love. But danger closes in. Celeste’s violent ex-husband is watching, and his return threatens everything they’ve begun to build.
Can their faith, trust, and growing love protect the family they’ve become—for the love of a child?

Book Takeaway:

Our Heavenly Father is a God of forgiveness and second chances, and whatever our circumstances may be, He is always in control.

Why the author wrote this book:

I have attempted to show that people, even Christians, are profoundly imperfect, but God honors our faith in Him. He does not give up on those who believe in Him. He is faithful and merciful, and miracles do still happen.
