Missing Love
Esther King once believed her life was perfect. She had a loving husband, a growing dream for their future, and a long-awaited child on the way. But the day Jacob collapses in her arms, everything she loves is ripped away. Alone and expecting, she cannot imagine opening her heart again.
Daniel Fischer never meant to fall in love with a widow. Taking over Jacob’s furniture store was supposed to be temporary, but working alongside Esther stirs feelings he cannot ignore. He admires her strength, her resilience, and the gentleness she tries to hide beneath her grief. Every day he grows more certain that he wants to be part of her life and part of the baby's future.
Yet fear holds Esther back. Loving Daniel feels like letting go of Jacob, and she is not sure her heart can survive losing someone twice. Seeking guidance, she visits the bishop and discovers that God’s definition of love is far wider than her own. She is not betraying Jacob by healing. She is honoring him.
When premature labor forces Esther to lean on Daniel in the most vulnerable moment of her life, she sees the truth that has been waiting for her. Some love stories end, but others begin because of them.
This is a story about grief, grace, and the miracle of a heart learning to love again.

Beautiful, second chance at love
Wonderful story - filled with sadness and joy and an abundance of faith and love.
Sweet/tender story about faith and a growing heart that can overflow with love. Thank you for the beautiful epilogue - I truly hate stories that just end at the "I do", I want the "and then.....".
A beautiful MUST read book. I am so thankful for the lovely created of faith filled books.

Hannah has once again written a lovely story. A Love story times two.
Death of a spouse is an extremely difficult path to journey on, but to add the complication of a pregnancy to the mix, deepens the loss.

Very good read
I am enjoying Hanna’s books. One thing I would suggest is to edit the text for English grammar mistakes. As good as your stories are, they deserve to be written without the distractions of errors.

Second Chance
Great story. This is about a lady who lost her husband, then discovered she was with child. She doesn't think she can go on. I recommend it to all who like love stories.

Love came for Esther at five years of age. Later when married they only had three years when he died suddenly. With a successful furniture store, they found a man who came to run it, and found the thrill of running a King store. The beauty of Esther was a bonus, and the love that grew for them. A sweet story of heartache to love once again.

Learning to let the past go.
It is hard when a major change happens in our lives. It makes us feel off balance. We never stop loving those who pass before us. However, we learn to live in the present, not the past.

All of Hannah's books deserve 5 stars!
This is a great story of how great love overcomes every single time.
Such a beautifully written story of tragedy, gut wrenching pain & overcoming. It is appropriate for any age lady.

Great Story
I truly enjoyed the story and liked the characters. There was
editing that was missed, but it didn't detract from the story.

Good Book
It was a great story about love lost and love found. Sometimes, when we lose someone through death, we close up and don't realize what is right in front of us.
