It Only Takes a Spark
Isobella de la Rosa never expected such drama in the small-town Mayhill, Nebraska. But she finds it the day fireman Parker Strickland enters her library to return fifteen long-overdue books. Book number sixteen happens to be a private journal-and in verifying its ownership, Izzy inadvertently reads the first paragraph: I can make it through today, but I'm not sure about tomorrow. Izzy's heart goes out to the solemn man separated from God and all alone. Izzy never planned to stay long in Mayhill, but what time she has can be spent showing Parker that Someone greater than her walks by his side. Thus ignites a chain of events that will take Izzy through adventure, intrigue, and maybe even love. But can Izzy accomplish her goals before she leaves Mayhill?

It Only Takes A Spark by Pamela Kaye Tracy
Isobella de facto la Rosa will be leaving Mayhill, Nebraska in four months. Heading back to sunny Phoenix where there is no snow. And yet this small town seems to be getting it’s hooks into her heart. Especially after a handsome fireman with sad eyes returns some overdue books at the library, where she works. What she reads in the journal he accidentally returned with the books has her on a mission to save him.
Parker Strickland’s family roots are here in Mayhill. But after his wife dies he goes back to Lincoln to finish school and has returned home once again. He may be alive but he only goes through the motions of living, until he sets his eyes on the lovely librarian.
Parker and Izzy become the target of small town matchmakers. The more they try to avoid each other….the more their friends throw them together. Between a runaway boy, a cat in the tree, and a cousin who has gone down the wrong path and a town centennial celebration….Love begins. But Izzy cannot make a non-believer her life partner….and Parker don’t see the need for God in his life.
This is a Heartsong Presents and I really enjoyed it. Pamela hits on the uniqueness of a small town where everyone knows every time you leave the house. The loneliness of losing someone you love and being torn between where you think your life is and where God wants you to be. It was a really good story.
