Down to Earth

by Patricia PacJac Carroll

Will she settle for security or choose the one who’s awakened her heart? Only faith will tell. Jenna Lairdon, a widow with two, young children and a snippy mother-in-law, steps out of the fog of depression and realizes she needs a loan to save the family sheep ranch. She has an appointment with the banker, an old flame who is still interested in her. Before she can get to the bank, skydiver, Clay Carter, drops out of the sky and into her life. The stranger ignites places in her heart she thought she’d buried with her husband. Torn between the security the banker offers and the fire in her heart for Clay, Jenna tries to seek God, but her faith is as depleted as her bank account. Thrill-seeking Clay drifts into the family he’s always wanted. He tries to help at the ranch but only makes a mess of things. Worse, his father expects him back at the law firm in New York City. If he chooses Jenna, he loses everything. Will Clay turn his back on his father’s wealth for the woman and family he’s come to love? Or will he continue a life hidden behind the hardened walls of his heart? Down to Earth is a story of overcoming fear with hope, faith, love, and a little humor.

Is a great book to read

This book is an enjoyable read. I loved reading about the ranch in Arizona and the sweet children. I especially was touched by the faith themes and how God worked in the lives of some of the characters

Down to Earth was full of emotion, second-guessing, salvation, and hard work. Surprises were often and well written. Thank you.

Great book though lengthy

This was a great book but it really dragged on. It wouldn’t have taken anything away from the quality of the book if it had been shortened.

This was a great book! The only con--it was a bit lengthy.

I read this book awhile ago so I don't remember a lot of it but it did sound familiar

Great book.

I didn't want to put this book down. Great story that related how important it is for us to trust God's plans for us and the importance we should place in our faith that he is always there for us.
