Alone and in trouble

Maggie Gardere is single and pregnant. If that weren't enough, her parents are causing all sorts of problems because they believe she embarrassed them by getting pregnant before her society wedding. However, pastor Jake Mathison takes Maggie under his wing and tries to bring her back to the fold. The book was written in 2000, but the conclusion involves a category 4 hurricane heading towards Louisiana, which elicits many unpleasant Katrina memories. However, it also involves a very humorous situation between Jake and Maggie, who are stranded. Maggie's spiteful parents come across as almost inhuman in this book. The book addresses issues of trust, and Maggie confesses to Jake: "Can a child conceived in violence...can I love this child?" The book includes a nongraphic description of rape, but this is a powerful issue to grapple with. How will Maggie's child handle hearing about her real parents?

heart warming

I fell in love with this series several years ago. Some are unforgettable and some not so hot. This book warmed my heart and even made me cry. I have read it several times over and it never fails to pull on my heart strings. Id encourage you to read it. It shows a love we all hope to find.

Maggie & Jake learn-God's path isn't always the expected one.

Maggie was pregnant, alone, and lost until Jake, the minister of the town, reached out to her in her most desperate hour. As Maggie renewed her faith, Jake learned that following your own dreams isn't always the path that God has mapped out for you.Once again, Cheryl has captured the power of the love of God intertwined with personal love. "A Mother's Love" will make you want to reach out with your heart to protect Maggie and Jake as they learn the lessons of life.
