Levi is a physical therapist aide and Anna is his new patient. She wants to learn to walk after having a life changing accident with her old boyfriend, Gabe. He had asked her to marry him, but she wouldn't give him an answer until she could walk across the floor to give him the answer. When Anna is finally able to make the trek to give Gabe his answer and sees that he's in love with another woman.
Anna has had her fair share of adverse circumstances thrown her way. After she sees that Gabe truly loves another, she becomes despondent for a while, but finds that she can have a new purpose in fostering children who need emergency placement. Since she lives in close proximity to her aenti Miriam, who is already certified as a foster parent, Anna's certification comes easily, especially after she gets her CPR and water safety certifications.
Levi and Anna both hold secret guilt that they are able to unburden to each other and both of them are able to admit their feelings for each other. After Anna gets a placement of three refugee children, the mother asks that Anna adopt them, which brings Levi and Anna full circle to marriage.
Rachel J Good has written a sweet book that will touch the hearts of all who read it. There were many tears shed as I read this book. The characters have real flaws and real determination to accomplish what they set out to do. This is a five star book with two thumbs up and a picnic lunch.
Zebra Books and NetGalley.com provided the copy I read for this review. All opinions expressed are my own.
