All Maggie Acker ever wanted was to have a family of her own. Now, with her handsome, hardworking husband, Josh, and two adorable twin boys from his previous marriage, she is determined to be the wife and mother Josh's ex-wife failed to be. But when one of the twins has a near-fatal health scare and is later diagnosed with diabetes, Maggie blames herself for not seeing the signs sooner. As the rest of the family slowly learns to live with the diagnosis, Maggie fights to gain control of her son's health. Coupled with a major career change for Josh, their marriage teeters on the brink of destruction. When Maggie's family sends the couple away for a much-needed vacation, a life-rocking argument is followed by terrifying news regarding their son. Will Maggie's childhood dreams of love and family disappear before she realizes the treasure she'd had right in front of her? This is Book 2 in The Orchard House Bed and Breakfast Series, a contemporary twist on the well-loved classic, Little Women. Readers will fall in love with the Martin family--Maggie, Josie, Lizzie, Bronson, Amie, and their mother Hannah--each trying to find their own way in the world and each discovering that love, home, and hope are closer than they appea Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I loved the fact the couple in this book was already married. It showed that romance is still important after vows are spoken and also showed how that golden happily ever after is something you have to fight for together.
Maggie represents so many moms out there who are striving to be that "perfect mom" and are determined to do it all on their own. I identified with her struggle so many times, and I enjoyed watching her grow spiritually through her journey.
The author is a master at addressing difficult issues like having a child with diabetes or dealing with a spouse that has an addiction. Josh lived through horrible circumstances in his previous marriage that continued to haunt him after he married Maggie. His emotions through everything were eye opening and deepened my empathy for those in a similar situation.
Overall, I loved this story. I loved the beauty of the romance within marriage, the heart-wrenching struggles, and the work it requires to stay together through all the hard things.
Fans of contemporary Christian fiction will enjoy this story.
