Review: Starfire

 by Mary Manners



Blurb:

Austin McGill has one goal: to satisfy the conditions of his estranged father's will. After living on Starfire Ranch for three months, he'll sell the property and leave East Tennessee and its heartbreaking memories...forever. At least, that's his plan until Samantha Lakin comes along.

Samantha Lakin has one goal: to save Starfire and its summer camp for special-needs kids like her foster daughter, Jenny. To succeed, Sam will have to soften Austin's stone-cold heart. Not an easy task, especially when she realizes the ranch isn't the only thing that needs saving.

Can Sam's devotion and the love of a little girl teach Austin to let go of the past and to trust God for the future...before the ranch and any chance at a happily-ever-after are lost?

My Opinion:

Austin McGill returns to his boyhood home, Starfire Ranch, a bitter, disillusioned man. What he finds there could change his life forever…but a lifetime of pain and anger could easily prevent him from seeing the possibilities.

In Starfire, Mary Manners has created yet another touching tale that grips the heart and won't let go. This author has discovered the secret to creating well-rounded characters and gripping emotion, and she's well up to the challenge of packing an entire novel's worth of that kind of impact into just a few pages. Starfire is dynamite in a small package, and you do not want to miss the blast!
