BOOK REVIEW- TUESDAY'S CHILD

BOOK REVIEW- TUESDAY'S CHILD-Two years ago, Ginny Porter made some bad decisions -- the biggest of which was falling for her boyfriend's lies. While she regretted her period of rebellion, she would never regret the birth of their child, Sophy. Now, trying to get her life back on track and with a fresh teaching certificate in hand, she and Sophy are headed to an Idaho farm where Ginny has a summer job as a tutor. For Dallas Reid, hiring a tutor for his eight-year-old step-brother had seemed like a good idea but he hadn't expected her to be a beautiful young mother and her adorable toddler. Their growing attraction for each other is hindered when Dallas realizes Ginny's past has a long reach and is endangering her life. But even though Dallas appears to be everything Todd was not, Ginny doesn't know if she can rely on her instincts and confide in him. By learning to trust each other and deal with the secrets each are holding, Dallas and Ginny's Idaho summer turns into life-changing lessons on God's grace and the blessing of second chances.   Amazon

This was a good story, with several different things (plots) going on at the same time. Ginny was sweet and her daughter Sophy was sweet and charming. Ginny went from a cold, disapproving family as an only child to working with a family that was fun, warm and had each other's backs. She wasn't used to that but she was welcomed into it and found its everything she ever wanted. I also enjoyed how Dallas and his family worked together. I got to watch Ginny grow from a people pleaser to begin to stand up for herself. She also began to see that being a teacher was her life calling. There was a charming story that showed how tender hearted Dallas was to animals and anything wounded. The Amazon blurb about learning lessons on God's grace was right on. If reading about God's forgiveness or grace bother you,, then pass on this book. But that would be a shame because the book wasn't preachy, at least I didn't think so. It wasn't the kind of book where those themes were the only part to the book, it really did have a story, family, romance and a few mysteries. Yes, and second chances.
