About the author
Ginny Aiken
53 books99 followersGinny Aiken, a former newspaper reporter, lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and their three younger sons--the oldest is married, has flown the coop, and made her a doting grandmother. Born in Havana, Cuba, and raised in Valencia and Caracas Venezuela, Ginny discovered books at an early age. She wrote her first novel at age fifteen while she trained with the Ballets de Caracas, later to be known as the Venezuelan National Ballet. She burned that tome when she turned a "mature" sixteen. An ecletic list of jobs--including stints as reporter, paralegal, choreographer, language teacher, retail salesperson, wife, mother of four boys, and herder of their numerous and assorted friends, including the 135 members of first the Crossmen and then the Bluecoats Drum & Bugle Corps--brought her back to books in search of her sanity. She is now the author of twenty-seven published works, but she hasn't caught up with that elusive sanity yet.

This is a delightful collection of 4 stories! I liked not only the stories, but the lifestyle and issues presented, such as how to let God lead you in decisions.

The Wrong Man by Ginny Aiken
After several baby announcements from her friends, Carrie is beginning to feel like she'll never get married and have children of her own. So she joins a dating service and meets several men - all annoying and totally wrong for her. Then she decides on one more man - and gets the wrong one!
Brad is home sick when he gets the message on his answering machine. In his sickness, he deletes it, not realizing the message was about to change his life!
This is a short and sweet (about 80 pages) short story that gives us a glimpse into the romantic beginning of this couple who thought Carrie had the wrong man! There's nothing earth-shattering - just a darn, sweet story in which the couple focuses on God.
Four stars
His Sweet Heart by Ranee McCollum
This was a very sweet Valentine story about a geeky computer nerd and a sophisticated accountant. She begins to see him in a new light instead of the clumsy, stuttering guy who owns the computer software store beside her tax business. But then a third man enters the picture when she turns off his lights in the church parking lot. Oh, what a story!
This story is VERY predictable. I don't think there's really any secret on what's happening here. But I still enjoyed this sweet short story.

Come To My Love by Jeri ODell
When his wife dies, Harrison can feel nothing but relief. She had lured him into bed and marriage, and now she made no secret to her many affairs. Telling her mother bold-faced lies about Harrison didn't help in the aftermath of her death either. That's why old childhood friend, Kolby was such a God-send! But they never planned to fall in love.
My heart ached for Kolby. The author did such a good job writing Kolby's character. I also enjoyed the relationship she had with her parents. So sweet!

Cherish by Debra White Smith
They'd been married for several years, but now all she wants is out. Worse, the day she plans to leave her husband is the day she discovers she's pregnant. But Joe didn't want children and he gave her nothing out of the marriage. All Belle wanted was out!
Joe is shocked when he arrives home with a dozen roses to discover a note and his wife's wedding ring on the kitchen table. He's filled with anger and grief over the fact that his wife was so miserable in the marriage.
It's going to take a lot of work to save this marriage. The author did such a wonderful job in bringing these two back together! Sometimes you just need time away from each other - time to deal with your problems from a distance - before you can move forward. A very sweet story.
