Her Daddy's Eyes
At thirty-three years of age, Allie Wilson is only three weeks away from marrying the handsome and respected Trey Thompson. She's successful, excited, and happy . . . until she comes across an old photograph of her long-lost father. Suddenly everything changes for Allie. . . her heart, her focus, and maybe even her future.
Before her reluctant fiancé and hesitant mom can stop her, Allie launches a cross-country search for a father she can't remember. And on the way she meets a few people she can't get out of her mind--including the handsome and charming Chase Mason. Is it her curiosity, her conscience, her father's wish that spurs her on? Or could it be the will of God? All Allie knows is that she has a lot of questions--and there's only one man who can give her the answers.

About the author
Gary E. Parker
34 books18 followersLibrarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
The only current Southern Baptist pastor to have written 11 novels, 4 novellas and 4 non-fiction books in the last twelve years, prolific best-selling author Gary E. Parker has combined his love of history and the Civil War era to pen his latest historical novel, Secret Tides.
The first novel from Southern Tides (Parker’s latest trilogy of sweeping family sagas), Secret Tides paints a true and compelling portrait of love and forgiveness in a stunningly authentic historical setting.
Selected as a Crossing Book Club featured fiction writer and named a Christy Award finalist for his previous historical series writing, Parker has seen his novels soar up the best-seller charts.
As a boy, long before he became a Christian, Parker read The Robe. That book became an early whisper of the Spirit in his life, driving his interest in spiritual things along with a love for writing. Within a couple of weeks after conversion at 18 years old, Parker felt called to Christian ministry, receiving his Master of Divinity and later his Ph.D. in historical theology from Baylor University.
Referring to his fictional writing as “faith-informed fiction,” Parker feels that his writing makes him a better preacher, and preaching a sermon regularly makes him a better writer. His goal is to tell a quality story and let the message come through the story and character development naturally, rather than trying to make some theological point.
Parker and his wife, Melody reside in Decatur, Georgia with their two teenage daughters. He is Sr. pastor of the First Baptist Church of Decatur, and a frequent conference speaker at seminaries, university campuses, national conventions and convocations. He’s a regular contributor to national Christian publications, and is currently writing Fateful Journey, the second book in the Southern Tides trilogy, along with four new novellas. In his spare time, he enjoys distance biking, golfing, and reading.

Rounded up. Not realistically written to match any actual relationship. Luckily it was short.

Whether it's premonition, intuition, or God's direction, Allie feels strongly pushed into finding her father whom she's had no contact with for most of her life. Her biggest obstacles are where to begin and her fiance's constant reminders that their wedding is just day's away. With a jump start by her mother, she begins her journey and is compelled to finish it no matter what the consequences.

Good book I enjoyed it very much.
I really enjoyed this book. At first I thought it a little slow but it held my interest. Then it really took off in a total twist. The author did a good job.
