Part of Christmas Hope, book 9
First published 2018
Amy Denison spends her afternoons at Glory's Place, an after school program where she volunteers with local children. At thirty-two, she has built walls around her heart after past romantic disappointments. Then she meets Maddie, a seven-year-old foster child with a sharp eye for people and their possibilities. Maddie attends Grandon Elementary School and has spotted what she believes is the perfect man for Amy. The precocious girl begins her matchmaking campaign, but Amy resists. She knows the sting of broken promises and shattered trust. As Christmas approaches and snow transforms their town into a winter wonderland, the staff at Glory's Place rallies around Amy. An unexpected development forces Amy to examine her solitary life and consider whether she has closed herself off from genuine love. Maddie and her allies work to show Amy that not all romance ends in heartache.
