This is a wonderful Christian romance that deals with inter-racial love. Link is the last Whitman child that isn't married. His sister's and mother are working to find him someone to share his life. Shayla lives above the bakery run by her father and they are raising her brother's daughter because he is in prison. Shayla's dad isn't happy that Link and Shayla are seeing each other and Link's parents have some reservations. They all turn their reservations and concerns over to God. This is book 5 in the Chicory Inn series and it is the first one I've read. I had no difficulties figuring the first 4 books dealt with Link's brothers and sisters. This story confronts some difficult problems and deals with them realistically. A good read for young and old.
