one good story

This is a story of second chances, for a lot of people. Jodie Nathan is a single mother struggling to bring up a troubled teenage daughter. Jeff Davidson is the town's former kid-from-the-wrong-side-of-the-tracks, returning (after a stint in the Marines) to open a halfway-house type establishment for teenage boys who would otherwise be sent to prison. The two fall in love, but must each battle personal fears and competing duties to find their happy ending. This book features a truly amazing cast of minor characters. Jeff and Jodie, unfortunately, do sleep together once before their wedding, but the episode is not dwelt on. (In fact, it's so brief and cliched, and adds so little to the plot, I wondered why it was included at all.) You'll find yourself rooting for everybody on these pages, and that's saying a lot. Those who enjoy this story would probaby also enjoy three similar books by Cara Colter : "A Hasty Wedding," "The Heiress Takes a Husband," and "A Bride Worth Waiting For." All three feature heroes who have hearts for troubled kids, having been troubled kids themselves. And all three are exceptional.
