A soothing, comforting, charming and feel-good book!
Set in a small town Crowleyville, this book is about an ex DEA agent who has been paralyzed by a bullet in his spine and an RN who has lost her husband and son in an accident. Mike and Daisy interact frequently. Mike is still in a disgruntled mode because he is still unable to ambulate on his own and dislikes being dependent on someone else for most of his needs. Daisy realizes this and wants to assist him. Because of her past, she has elected to work as the director of a home for challenged individuals.
In addition to these two main characters, there are a lot of other endearing characters such as the Sheriff Floyd, his wife Sue, pastor Gil and wife Jo, Mike's mother Sarah, deputy Jason, Physical Therapist Karen and the doctor couple Stella and Mark who add to the enchantment of this captivating book.
There are also unsavory characters such as Harris who has an ax to grind with Mike and his family seems to have the same temperament with psychopathic tendencies thrown in thereby adding to the riveting aspects of the book. Further adding to the allure of the book are the Christian values and principles mentioned frequently.
A wonderful, appealing book providing an enjoyable reading experience!!

Well-written book with interesting characters and some suspense. Mike is a former DEA agent, who is in a wheelchair after assisting the sheriff when someone tried to kill him. Daisy lives with her daughter in a place with some people who need special care. They meet when Daisy, who is a nurse, comes to visit Mike with her daughter. Mike usually turns anyone away who comes to see him, but not these two. There is a surgery that may give Mike back the use of his legs, so he does physical therapy while waiting for that to happen. Daisy has had some sadness in her life due to losing her son and husband in an automobile accident. There are Christian principles and values mentioned throughout the book and I enjoyed getting to know the other characters.
