Gold in the Fire
Joshua Markham has no problems taking risks as a firefighter. But in the matters of the heart, it is a different story. He was left at the altar on his wedding day. So opening his heart to love becomes difficult.
Darcy O'Brien has lost her husband to death. Her marriage had not been what she had hoped for either. So she is burned out of love and marriage. She returns home for the Summer with her son to help care for her father who has suffered a heart attack. Her relationship with her Dad has been on the outs for 10 years too. So her father has never gotten to know her grandson.
When aarson is suspected in barns being burned down and theirs is burned right after her return, she comes in contact with Joshua. From here on there are many functions that throw the two of them together even though both are having difficulty loving again. They help each othr spiritually to grow.
Joshus struggles with forgiveness of the woman who left him at the altar. Darcy struggles with feeling unloved by her father and the marriage that she never enjoyed.
I can relate to struggling with feeling unloved as I spent almost all my life feeling like that with my Mother. I can also relate to the feeling of dealing with forgiveness because I am dealing with emotional hurts caused by a prayer partner of several years.
Light in the Storm
Samuel Morgan and his three children move to Sweetwater Lake to start over. Samuel has lost his wife to breast cancer. He struggles so with his children's grief that he does not deal with his own grief over the loss of his wife.
Beth Coleman is his daughter, Jane's, teacher. She calls Samuel to discuss the problems with Jane doing her work. Jane is struggling due to learning difficulties and trying to cover it up. Beth is able to help Jane because she dealt with similar problems all her life.
As Samuel learns to come to grips with the loss of his wife, Beth is told she has to have a lump removed in her breast. She is afraid to tell Samuel because of her love for him and she doesn't want him to face it. But he eventually has to face it due to his love for Beth.
Both stories will uplift and encourage you to move forward in some area of your life.
