About the author
Lyn Cote
121 books589 followersLyn grew up loving books. Her favorite night of the week was Friday night, when the Bookmobile came to her neighborhood in Illinois. She’d spend those two hours chatting with the driver of the Bookmobile and the librarian and making the big decision of the week — which books to check out! In those distant days, children were limited in how many books they could check out. Lyn could only take home six a week — and there were so many to choose from. Her favorites were Cotton in my Sack by Lois Lenski, The Little House series and the One of a Kind Family series. Later, she discovered Georgette Heyer’s Regency romances!
This love of books led to a desire to write. Lyn won prizes in high school and college for her poetry and, not surprisingly, Lyn became a history and English teacher. When she became a mother, she gave up teaching, and while raising a son and a daughter, she began working on her first novel. Then she wrote her second and third. Long years of rejection followed — as it does for most writers. Finally in 1997, Lyn got "the call." Her first book, Never Alone, was chosen to appear in the first year of the new Love Inspired line. Lyn has written many articles on writing and the emerging Christian Booksellers Assoc. (CBA) fiction market. In 2006, Lyn's book, Chloe, is a finalist for the RWA's RITA, the highest award in the romance genre in the inspirational category.
Now, Lyn spends her days writing books that show the power of divine as well as human love. Her nest is empty and she and her real life hero, her husband, have more and more time to spend together in their home on a lake in the lovely northwoods. And books are still dear to her heart.

This wonderful story about a preacher's daughter makes the reader pause and think about how our misguided perceptions of ourselves and other people might affect what we think we can do, but God's perfect plan might be leading us there anyway. Preacher's wives do deal with a certain stereotype at times, and I love how this book shows that God can use different personalities to accomplish a variety of things, and that opposites can help and compliment each other. The main character is spunky and able to motivate others in a way I wish I could do.

This was a fun, light-hearted romance novel. I enjoyed the over-eagerness of Lucie in her ambition to get things moving and the stoic, "I have to pray about this" of the small town preacher. They each have their own story to tell. Both have a zeal for community and how to make it happen in the small town of Pleasant Prairie. You will have to read and find out what happens in this town to make you laugh.

I actually never finished. It's been so dry for me that I just put it away & found a different book to read. It was almost "work" for me to read it. Wasn't something that I wanted to do when I say down & maybe it got better the further it went on but I was tired of it.

This was a fascinatingly detailed story about acceptance of extraordinary friendships within a nurturing environment of people from different cultures and backgrounds. The journey of self-awareness and realistically storyline were surprisingly amazingly and compellingly powerful.
By trusting in their deepest faith, Lucie and Tanner were uniquely and intriguingly able to seek God to help them find ways to creatively connect the complexity of the groups.
Highly recommended

It was a sweet book, to see the whole community work together. But I thought it was kind of dry and I couldn’t really get involved with the characters.
