Standing Strong

Homeland Heroes #4

by Donna Fleisher

Chris McIntyre has found a home at last. And life is good, with Chris savoring her status as a new aunt while she and Jason continue to explore their evolving relationship. But it’s going to take a hero’s heart to defend the community she treasures. It’s the sweltering summer of 1996, and the quiet life of Kimberley Square is shattered by the sound of screeching tires as rival gangs battle to claim the neighborhood that has become home to Chris. This new kind of turf war between gangs is far more frightening than anything she and her buddies encountered on the battlefields of Desert Storm. Even as she guards her home, Chris also wonders if she dares to let down her guard emotionally. Will she have to choose between her love for Christ and her growing love for Jason? Standing Strong is the fourth novel in the Homeland Heroes series by Donna Fleisher

This was my least favorite of this series, mainly because the author isn't consistent with the main character. In the previous three books, Chris was a woman who had many issues, but eventually faced them. She was also a woman who faced danger and didn't back down. In this book she backs down. I didn't really like that.

I read five or six other books while reading this, finishing it was a bit of a chore. I considar myself to have strong religious beliefs, but this had too much in it, I felt uncomfortable at times.

Excellent book about a group of former soldiers in a community fighting against gang activity...also good story about relationship between two characters and her difficulty in choosing between him and God
