Ours for a Season

Kim Vogel Sawyer has the well-earned reputation of being one of the finest Christian fiction and her newest offering holds that reputation quite brilliantly. 

Marty and Anthony Hirschler are a young married couple who want nothing more than to have a child.  The problem is Anthony had a bad case of the mumps right after Marty miscarried her only pregnancy. 

Sometime during her grief, Marty gets a letter from her childhood best friend asking if Anthony will come help her rebuild a ghost town for a vacation resort.  Anthony is excited for the opportunity to become close to Marty again, and get his hands in a restoration that will challenge his skills.

While Anthony and his crew are working, they find evidence of a squatter in the ghost town.  Marty's friend, Brooke, finds out she's got cancer.  All of these challenges along with Brooke's lost condition spiritually keep Marty, Anthony, and the crew busy.  While Marty takes Brooke to her treatment, she sees a girl seemingly being abducted; Marty takes down the license number and description of the man taking the girl and calls the police.  Her actions take down a sex-trafficking ring.

Kim has seen to it to point out some needs in our society and how to fix them, and she pointed out what a difference coming to Christ makes.   This is a five star book, two thumbs up, and children saved from sex-trafficking.

My thanks go to Waterbrook/Multnomah for allowing me to read and review this book.  The galley was provided through NetGalley.com
