Deliverance: Lydia's Story
Lydia Blankenship and her husband, Jim, lost their own little girl years ago to a medical mishap. It took Lydia nearly thirty years to stop hating the nurse who administered the wrong medicine. Now, she and Jim are once again in parental bliss as the legal guardians for Lydia’s charming five-year-old grandniece, Gracie. The girl’s mother, however—recently released from prison for drug-related theft—plots to kidnap the little girl and run.
Lydia’s happy days with her grandniece are quickly threatened, along with her tranquil marriage. The law is on Lydia’s side, but her niece, Nicole, has years of experience sidestepping the law. When Lydia turns to her friends to help thwart her niece, they support her crazy antics. When she turns to God, she doesn’t like the answers.
Is Lydia a match for a conspiring ex-con? Is a conspiring ex-con a match for Lydia? Deliverance is a story of scheming, intrigue, and overcoming fear. Most of all it is a love story and the third book in the Hope & Healing Series.

What a great story! I couldn't put it down! Truthfully, I was rather surprised to enjoy it that much!
I guess because I was unfamiliar with the author and couldn't recall why I even downloaded it, in the first place. I mostly read it to get rid of it showing up every time I opened my Kindle.
So many emotions and so many lessons to be learned. Plus so many encouraging scriptural references and encouraging, Christian admonitions.
When I finished, I learned that this was the third in a series. I tried to buy one of the others, but that particular Kindle wouldn't let me. So now I am checking them out from my computer.
WTG, Vicki Hunt Budge!

Another book worth reading.
I have enjoyed all three books in the series. This book along with the other two books reminds the reader that anyone can change and turn away from evil with the help from God. The one thing that bothered me in this book was there were too many addicts in this book in a small circle of people. It seemed a little unrealistic.
