Family In His Heart - Gail Gaymer Martin

Rona Meyers is a woman running from her past. She has come to Les Cheneaux in Michigan for her escape. Rona’s search for a new life lands her at a small diner where she finds employment and new friends. One of these new friends is more intriguing than the rest. Nick Thornton’s good looks and chivalric act immediately capture Rona’s attention.

Nick Thornton is dealing with his own past, when he meets Rona in the diner. He wants to get to know her more and begins to make plans to do just that. As they both struggle with the difficulties of their past, Rona and Nick slowly begin to develop a friendship. However, they must face the things they have both been running from, if they are ever to have a future together.

I have to admit that I used to be a huge fan of romance novels. There was something alluring about getting swept up in the fantasy of the romance. However, I also have to say that I wanted there to be something “cleaner” for me to be able to enjoy. I believe I have found my answer with Gail Gaymer Martin. Curling up on my sofa with the pocket-sized paperback, was a real treat.

FAMILY IN HIS HEART is a sweet read! It would make a wonderful gift for anyone on your list who may enjoy a romance novel. I liked that the book included questions for discussion. Gail also gives her readers a little note at the end of the book reminding them of the power of forgiveness and second chances. I’m looking forward to my next Gail Gaymer Martin novel!
