Book Description:
With a fulfilling job and a home of her own, former foster child, Merritt
Hastings, relishes her stable, respectable life. Dreaming for more is a sure
way for heartache. When a contested will turns her world upside down, she must
revaluate what’s important to her, what’s worth fighting for, and what’s worth
sacrificing.
Patience has never been Sam Daniels’ strong suit with his
history of acting quickly and asking questions later, and he’s ready for changes
in his life…now. Too bad the plans for acquiring a radio station didn’t include
a contract. Now he’s out of a job, out of a radio station, and out of prospects.
While his life is in flux,
at least he can help Merritt steady hers, or will he rush in and overstep
…again?
My Thoughts:
Dougherty has written a beautiful story full of emotion and heart. I love
learning as I read fiction, and this book opened my eyes to the life of Merritt
as a foster child and how difficult it is for kids who get moved around and
feel lost. As an adult, Merritt is thankful for the woman, Millie, who took her
in and loved her, but Millie has passed away and now Merritt has to deal with
Millie's ruthless relatives. Along comes Sam, who grew up with stability and
has dreams of owning a radio station. Merritt is practical while Sam is more of
a dreamer. She's not sure she can trust him, and he wants her to give him a
chance. I enjoyed this lovely story and all the great characters. If you want
to read a novel with charm, faith, and hope, read Forever Home. This is the
third book in the series and it can stand alone. I received a free copy with no
expectations.
