When logic and emotion clash -- Highly recommended

Assistant County Prosecutor Jack Granger is a "just the facts" kind of guy. Emotional issues leave him floundering. So when his daughter's teacher calls him in for yet another conference, he's not prepared for her to insist that Kitty is developmentally behind her peers because she still grieves her deceased mother. With the teacher, Abby Walsh, everything is about feelings.When a friend with a counseling background suggest that Abby approach Jack logically, rather than with her heart, he finally listens. Chocolate chip cookies and videos lead to the realization that Jack's beloved daughter needs more help than he can provide. As a condition to his acceptance of Abby's suggestion for counseling, Jack insists that Abby tutor Kitty during the summer. So much for this schoolteacher's objectivity and determination to keep her relationship with strictly professional.Myrna Temte proves the power of second chances and belief in the power of love in HANDPRINTS. With multifaceted characters that touch the heart, HANDPRINTS presents the complexities and challenges of overcoming grief, not only for a father who's lost his wife, but also for the young daughter. With a deep understanding of the grieving process, Temte's novel explores the power of love to heal. Highly recommended.
