After a two-year engagement, Erin Hanson breaks up with her boyfriend when he once again delays their wedding. More important to Erin than a breakup with her boyfriend is the need for someone to stay with beloved her Gran who suffered a mild heart attack. Erin quits her job as a loan manager in Seattle to return to her home in Hainesville to stay with her beloved Gran. Worried about the behavior of his twelve year old going on adulthood daughter Miranda, Nick Dalton leaves the Los Angeles fire department to accept a job in Hainesville, Washington. There Nick and Erin meet and both feel the attraction between them. As they become better acquainted, Erin learns she is pregnant carrying her former fiancee's child. Nick feels déjà vu has struck him because he doubts that he sired Miranda. Though he loves Erin, Nick struggles to cope with fathering someone else's child. The story line of CHILD OF HIS HEART is an engaging relationship drama that plays out on several levels besides the obvious one between the lead couple. Though the plot over emphasizes small town living at the expense of urban dwelling, the characters are likable (with one exception), charming, and seem authentic. That critical genuine spin turns Joan Kilby's multi-layered relationship drama into an entertaining reading experience.Harriet Klausner
