You’ve heard it said, “Be careful what you pray for.” But it may also be a good idea to be careful who you ask to pray. Because when folks like Hattie Hopkins talk to God…anything can happen! Stuck in the semi-reclusive life she’s built for herself, Olivia Harmon is still recovering from the tragic loss of her husband and daughter five years before. Though she loves her job at Vermont’s department of tourism, she longs for something more–so she asks her landlady Hattie to pray for a little volunteer work for her to do.
Things don’t work out exactly as she had planned, however, and soon Olivia finds herself bursting out of her carefully built cocoon to undertake the nurturing of three rambunctious street children. Even her heart seems out of control, causing her to fall for Zach Springer, the handsome handyman who rode a mudslide right into her sun room. Can a woman so accustomed to self-imposed solitude adjust to a new life, a new love, and the new challenge of Raising Cain…and His Sisters? (picture and description from amazon.com)
Yep, another one down. To be quite honest, I'm not sure where this book came from, except to say it was on my nightstand, but we all know that can mean anything ....
I'm suspicious it came from one of two places : my mother snuck it in there on her last visit (she's a bibliofile like myself) or it was a donation to the church library. No matter where it came from, it was a *really* good read, even if a little heavy on details. I personally LOVE details in a book, but if you are looking for "sticking to the story" then you might want to pass on it.
I am not putting this in the library at church, but if anyone is interested in reading it, let me know!
