Book Summary
Seventeen-year-old Missy conceives a child of rape and chooses to carry that baby. With her pastor's help, she goes to a maternity home, encountering other pregnant teens. Missy chooses adoption and returns to her small town. She becomes a successful businesswoman. With hard work, Missy suppresses her betrayal and trauma, building her business, volunteering in church, and remodeling the home her grandparents left her mother. Seventeen years later a handsome widower walks into her business. Falling in love confronts Missy with the need to work through her anger towards men: her alcoholic father, her brother who failed her, and the rapists. Although deeply in love, Missy fears intimacy and struggles in this relationship. Thus she comes to Recovery and finds the program her brother began will bring her the healing she needs.

Because she chose to stay home and raise her family, Charlotte has served as the Mentor Mom for her church's Mothers of Preschoolers program. "Mothers need to feel validated in their essential role in the family. I want to teach the younger women to love their husbands, and make good choices. The goal of my writing is to proclaim that tough choices produce good character, God is faithful, and Christianity is anything but dull!"
