A Miller's Creek novel and Christian contemporary romance
A former soldier battles for the soul of a prodigal...
After a devastating divorce, a bitter single mom and
atheist starts her own real estate company in the nostalgic and picturesque
town of Miller’s Creek, Texas. Then her young daughter’s disturbing symptoms
lead doctors to discover that her leukemia has relapsed. With her new life now
turned upside down, Mara Hedwig struggles to keep her business afloat. And her
daughter’s worsening condition forces her to rethink her beliefs about Carter
Callahan and his God. Will Mara make the return to Christian faith in the face
of life’s greatest challenge?
An ex-military operative struggles with the return to
civilian life while coping with his rebellious teen-aged daughter. During a
house-search, Carter meets Mara, a headstrong Realtor who wants nothing to do
with his God. But when Mara’s little girl is diagnosed with leukemia, the clock
begins ticking for him to convince Mara to return to a life of faith. Just as
he seems to be making headway, circumstances beyond his control throw his
efforts into a tailspin. Can Carter learn to rest in the sovereignty of God?
My Thoughts…
Wow, my emotions were all over. There were trials for the characters, each
having their own struggles and working to find the answers that they were in
need of. I felt happiness as Mara
learned what was important and had Carter by her side guiding her. There were tears and fears throughout the
story. Ashton’s story scared me. I cannot imagine how a child that young can
go through so much and come out so strong.
Then there is Chloe’s story.
Abandoned by her mother at the age when a teenage girl needs her mother the
most. Crossroads is a story that kept
me enthralled in the story and rooting for the characters. There were many
tough subjects that Cathy was not afraid to cover and put in front of the
reader.
This is a Christian romance book. There is a lot of talk of finding God and
believing in Jesus. Whether you believe
or not, the story will push your beliefs and make you wonder how you would
handle doubt. Cathy Bryant pushes her
reader to test their beliefs. It will
push the reader to believe in prayer and how it affects their daily lives.
If you have not read any of Cathy Bryant’s books you are
missing out. Crossroads is part of
series set in Miller Creek, but it is definitely a stand-alone story. I will recommend this book to all of my
friends and family.
