Back cover blurb...
Jo
Ellen Baker is shocked to find out that the boy who teased her mercilessly
throughout high school has returned to their hometown of Freedom Lake, and
he’s missing a leg. When his mother asks her to renovate their carriage house
to give him a place to gain his independence back, she wants to say no. But one
look at him brings a rush of forgotten feelings.
Evan
Carter can’t believe he has to return home and live with his parents. Every
hope and dream he ever had dissipated in a car crash that cost him his leg.
Stuck in a wheelchair, he’s forced to re-examine his relationship with God and
the local carpenter Jo Ellen Baker.
Will
renovating his home open the door for a mended relationship, or are some wounds
too deep to heal from?
Prologue (excerpt)...
Evan Carter stared at his girlfriend,
admiring her beauty. Brenda’s pixie haircut framed her pretty face, and a soft
smile graced her lips. She wore charm and gentleness like a cloak, as she
gracefully changed lanes. She drove his new Altima like it was made for her.
He loved that Brenda suited every
aspect of his life. She was a slam dunk in the girlfriend department. He ran
his fingers over the velvet box in his pocket. Tonight was the night. The
restaurant staff had been informed of his plans. With their help, his proposal
would be flawless.
“Should I adjust the temp?” he asked.
“I’m good, sweetie,” she smiled at
him, then quickly faced forward again.
Brenda would make the best high-school
coach’s wife. His students loved her, and she loved basketball as much as he
did. It was so easy to be with her.
“Evan, you made the perfect choice.
This car is so quiet. I can’t believe we can’t hear the outside noise.”
“I know. That’s what sold me.” He
pointed up ahead. “Make a right at the light.” He hadn’t revealed their dinner
location. If he didn’t pay close attention, they’d miss a turn.
“Are you sure you don’t want to tell
me where we’re going?”
“I’m sure. I still think you should
have let me drive. Then it would really be a surprise.”
She laughed. “Of course, it would have
been better, but I’ve been itching to get behind the wheel ever since you
bought it.”
“Well now—”
A black truck swerved in and out of
their lane.
“Baby, slow down. Watch out for that
truck!”
There was nowhere to pull over, no way
to avoid the impending collision. The two-lane road had no shoulder, and the
truck was picking up speed.
The black truck righted itself. Before
Evan could even sigh in relief, the truck corrected, ending up in their lane,
headed straight for them.
They were going to collide.
Evan held his breath, clenched his
eyes, and braced for impact. Brenda’s scream pierced the air, but it seemed far
away. His seat belt locked tight as the car came to an abrupt stop.
A weight dropped onto his leg. Pain
exploded. Smoke filled his nose. His body struggled to make sense of what
happened. Finally, he closed his eyes and gave in to the darkness.
