Mere Reflection
Prompted by her boyfriend's ultimatum, Blaine Taylor boarded a train to escape. The friendship she made that day led her to a job she could have never imagined. As Callie McAnder's caregiver, Blaine came to see the meaning of life from a ninety-year-old's perspective.
Mason McAnder wanted only to become acquainted with his nana's new employee, yet he realized that Blaine needed more than a typical dating relationship. She needed to see a love that far exceeded that which any man could give her.
Blaine's greatest test was to endure one of life's devastating tragedies and to know that God's love holds up even under the worst circumstances.
By spending Christmas with the McAnder family, Blaine began to see how baking holiday cookies, buying heartfelt gifts, and even putting together a puzzle, all came under the umbrella of celebrating Christ's birth.
As a tiny seed of hope sprouted, Blaine realized her life did matter. Could she face her past mistakes and move on? It wouldn't be easy, but nothing had ever come uncomplicated or painless for Blaine.

This was a great compliment to Just A Train Ride. The story picked right up where the first one left off very smoothly; keeping the reader wanting to hear more of the story. The author is a great storyteller with surprises and turns making you wonder how its going to end. She also helps you reflect on your own life and values along the way. I feel like her characters are my old friends and enjoyed reading every word. Thank you for showing us the importance of being a Grandparent and mentor. I give you 5 gold stars and look forward to reading future writings.
