In one word, Dee Henderson’s, “The Marriage Wish” is: Touching! Dee Henderson does a superb job of connecting and drawing in her readers, because this book does not speak to the head, but the heart! Healing takes place and dreams come true as the lives of Scott Williams and Jennifer St. James intertwine. Both characters show a willingness to face the obstacles and challenges that come with bringing two hearts together, after those hearts have been broken before.
This is not a More...

Successful, blessed with friends and a rich faith -as Scott William's thirty-eighth birthday dawned, he was at the top of his game. Or was he? Although his life seemed perfect to others, Scott felt that something was missing. But how could a rugged executive admit he yearned for a family of own to love?

This is the first Dee Henderson book I have read and ironically, it's the first book she wrote. This book gives me great hope in writing my own book one day.
It's not at all what I was expecting. It's an easy read that makes you want to see the couple get together in the end but the intense healing that has to take place is deep.
Final thoughts on reading it.....I'm thankful for healthy kids and I don't ever want to take for granted them or my husband.

This was truely a good book that I read it in 1 day! Well, I had an unexpected day of no kids around that helped on that also!
I have read many of Dee Hendersons' books a long time ago but this one was really different. It describes the pain and fear that one of the main charactors has experienced and that kept her from being able to move forward in life. A very loving and compassionate man helped her through it in a very amazing way. One can be very mad and angry with God about circumstanc More...

if you're paying attention, you'll realize that i finished God's Gift, by this same author, PLUS, read this whole book of her's, all in the same day. as i said, she writes books that are VERY difficult to put down! and, i'd already read this book once before!! still, there were some details that came at me new, both because i'd missed a few the first time around, and, because i'm in a different place myself during this reading than the last one.
again, if you like a little romance, More...

A really easy, but good read. Dee Henderson writes great leading man roles. I always fall in love with them.

I really liked the way she handled the grieving process and how God helped her through it.

This book was ok. I honestly didn't finish reading it, because the plot line was too predictable.

Great author. It was a book I just had to finish and was honoring to God.
A man desiring to get married meets a woman that he adores, but she is stuck in a painful place at the reminder of a love that was lost and is now afraid to open up and love again.

So, I am the type of person who really hates reading about marriage and stuff. I wonder why? This book follows a developing relationship where many kinks come in. It was touching to see how people tend to stick together through trials. It was a good book.

Intriguing plot line but way-y-y-y too repetitive. Listen up: if you didn't understand the issues at hand the first time you read about them, not to worry... there will be a dozen more opportunities to get it.

God's Gift and The Marriage Wish are two of this author's earliest published books. These are Ok, but the series she's written since are much improved.

I loved this book. I love Henderson's style. I have read every book she's written. I really love her style.

As it went on it got better. I thought it wasn't bad considering it was her first book
