Pushing Past the Pain

By Milla Holt

Description:

A devoted father devastated by the loss of his wife. A young widowed mother whose wounds began long before her husband died. Will their shared grief bring them together or push them apart?

Ragnar's life was shattered when a hit-and-run driver robbed him of his wife and his young daughter of her mother.

Ella was struggling to hold her fractured marriage together when her husband died suddenly, leaving her with a mountain of debt and a heartbroken young daughter.

When her new neighbor Ragnar moves in, their little girls soon become inseparable, and Ella is the perfect babysitter for Ragnar's daughter. But as the chemistry between them grows, Ragnar wants much more from Ella than childcare.

He's dreaming of finding love again while she is petrified of repeating the mistakes that made her first marriage a nightmare.

Book Takeaway:

God's plans for us are good, no matter what pain and sorrow we've had in the past. We need to let go of what's behind and press ahead toward what He has in store for us.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted to explore how two people who have lost their spouses through sudden and tragic circumstances can find love again, particularly when their experiences of marriage have been drastically different. One came from a happy marriage and wants to recapture that, while the other's relationship was much more difficult and painful.
