Matt Stevens might be a genius when it comes to creating the best security software programs around but his personal life is a wreck. Three years ago, he walked away from life and all the things that mattered to him after his son’s death. The only person who had come close to reaching him was the old woman that rented his cabin.
But then Rachel Bowers had died. Alone--without the granddaughter she loved by her side.
When Kate Alexander arrives on his doorstep, Matt is ready to dismiss her as simply an ungrateful child until she faints in his arms and he learns that she is pregnant and struggling to keep from losing her baby. Is Kate’s arrival just a coincidence? If so then why does he feel alive again for the first time in years? Or could her very presence there be proof that there is such a thing as second chances after all? If so then what does that do to all of his doubts? |
RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:
I thoroughly enjoyed THE THOUSAND ANGELS. The hero, Matt, is a tormented soul after having lost his wife and toddler son in a traffic accident. He's understandably bitter and hurt and has lost his love for God. The heroine, Kate, is poignant but resilient...and she's pregnant from a disastrous and abusive relationship. She, too, has walked away from God. Matt and Kate need each other; they are perfect for each other; they try so hard not to fall in love with each other and therein lies the heart of this wonderful love story. You want them to admit their love and return to the Lord and it's what keeps you turning the pages. Ahhh, romance.
