Description
Matt is struggling with issues of his own…guilt over the death of his wife and the responsibility of raising a cynical teenaged nephew who is dropped on his doorstep, abandoned by Matt's alcoholic sister. He doesn't have time to fall in love, yet he can't help being drawn to the woman who is ready to defend her home—and her daughter—with nothing more than a feisty attitude and a broom handle.
Can Matt's help and friendship convince Caroline to trust again…and when Caroline's daughter goes missing, will Matt be able to find the girl before it's too late and he loses everything he loves…again?

Boy, I would not want to be driving in that storm!
Her husband was killed in a church? Poor thing! No wonder she doesn't want to go.
Such an adorable little girl.
So they are both widowed.
Paul is a good young man.
Now I'm hungry for Italian food.
I like his sneaky approach to fixing her house.
Lemonade from a mix sounds gross.
Poor man. He was caught between a rock and a hard place. He had to do this for his friends. His wife should have understood. The blame for her death lies as much on her shoulders.
I want Paul to paint my room.
Oh, Paul. I want to give you a big hug. Alcoholism is a disease.
It's good to give Paul tasks to keep him busy in a crisis like this.
I like Julianna's idea of heaven.
Girl, you gotta work on your excuses.
Kids bounce back so easily sometimes.
I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

A truly inspirational story of loss, forgiveness and above all God's love and redemption...and the true treasures in our lives. Matt and Caroline's story shows us just how much a heart can endure when we trust God to guide us through life's trials. The author has created memorable cast of characters who have so much compassion for each other and through the community of their Church are able to bring healing to a mother and her little girl.
This book was provided by the Publisher and Netgalley for my honest review.

An inspirational story about finding yourself after a tragic loss. Caroline and Matt have lost their spouses and carry a lot of emotional baggage from their deaths. This sweet story shows that there can be healing through God.

What a fantastic story! This author really knows how to write well developed characters and a great story line to keep you wanting more and more. I am very excited to read more from this author.

Caroline is on the run from the past she feels like she can out run her feelings and her emotions and with the passing of her aunt and her aunt leaving her a house she knows thats where she will be headed. When her and her 6 year old daughter Callie land in Moutainview she's so broken and just needs to start over and find the healing she's looking for. Matt his dealing with some of his own loss and he is doing it while raising his 15 teen your old nephew. He need to keep this kid on the straight and narrow and get his neighbors house ready for when her niece and great niece. When he continues to try and help her he is not what she expected and he's not what she expected. When trouble seems to find them will they be able come together to get through it or will the just grow further apart?
I really loved this book it was just the sweetest love story. I really loved how Callie, Paul and Andie played just as big as a role as Caroline and Matt did. I really loved Callie's little personality and how she just had such a spitfire personality. I really enjoyed that this was a clean cut book. There was nothing I didn't like about this book. I was a short and very quick read. You really can not go wrong with this book its so worth the read.

This was a good book. Love comes softly to the main characters and the little girl was perfect.

I enjoyed reading this book. It was a good story and I was entranced by the characters. It was a good romance!

Caroline was still struggling to cope with her husband's murder when she ran from Chicago to Mountainview, Tennessee. She had inherited her Aunt Nora's home there and was hoping for a fresh start for her and her young daughter, Callie. She didn't expect to show up at her new home during a terrible storm and find Matt Carlson there. He had been asked by her aunt, before her death, to fix up her home for Caroline's arrival.
As Caroline and Matt got to know each other better, she began to see him as her guardian angel; someone who could protect her. But, she wasn't sure she could ever love again. She was still struggling with the grief from her husband's tragic death. Matt was struggling with his own guilt and grief over the death of his wife and unborn child.
Would these two be able to overcome the devastating events of their past lives and be able to see a future together? You'll just have to read this book to find out.
I loved that I was able to really connect to the characters in this book and their emotions. They felt like old friends, people I would normally want to be friends with. This was definitely a Christian-based romance with a clean storyline.
I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a story of love and loss of renewal and gain. It is about trusting GOD and each other, and by doing that we have to trust GOD first. Realizing that she has such a tremendous loss to herself and her daughter she packs up and moves to Mountview TN., where she meets Matt, who is also going through some rough times of his own by taking on the parentship of his nephew. He gives his troubled nephew a caring stable GODLY home., and a new beginning. There are lessons learned and unexpected tragedies, healing, trust, and forgiveness., brought through the loving kindness of others like friends and neighbors and family but the main place is JESUS, where it should come from to their hearts.. Matt's nephew is reborn, Matt is alive again and his heart is afresh, Caroline can trust again an her daughter is happy again, but she still feels the loss but O D has it in HIS hands They are so supported by all those around. Them all. Me Manners is one amazing author who can bring out such great thoughts and feeling from not only the main characters but the side characters as well.
