As the Tide Comes In

In Cindy and Erin's Woodsmall's As the Tide Comes In, this emotional, heart-warming and tear-jerking Christian romance novel would make you shed tears and blow your nose a few times throughout the novel. For Tara Abbott, she lived in a foster care system and never knew much about her parents or grandparents. At age eighteen, her grandmother asked her to take care of her two younger half-brothers since she was dying from cancer. After she almost refused her, one look at them had sent her heart soaring and agreed to do so. For twelve years, she did everything she could to raise them and watch them grow up, graduate and spread their wings. But before they could do that, tragedy happened during a storm, when she was knocked out unconscious with a head injury. When she recovered, she later learned they didn't make it and they died in the cabin. Bereft from grief and confusion, she went to St. Simons Island to heal and find what she was looking for. That's when she met Gavin Burnside, a firefighter who had lived a hard life on the island. He once grew up overweight and had a special bond with a childhood friend named Siobhan. But his mother was stuck in debt from a tragic accident after his father died. Besides his mother, her three other friends had pseudo-adopted him as he grew up to an outstanding man he was today. When they crossed each other's paths, they learned a lot about life, love, and believing in God. While Tara continued to grief and recover, a connection between Gavin and her grew from friendship and then later blossomed to love, as she set a foot to find her own path to make a life out of herself and to fill her life with happiness and true love by God's hand.

This was so beautiful and heart-warming from beginning to end. It pulled at the heart-strings and made me crazy with a heavy heart. The Woodsmalls have a wonderful way to describe emotional heart-wrenching pain in fantastic prose. I did care for Tara as I watched her grow up and heal from her grief, how she made a name out of herself in her brothers' memory and how she followed her heart to go back home to Gavin. I did love Gavin and the Glynn Marsh Ladies in thier wonderful and tender story, when each of them dealt with life's surprises, both good and bad, and how they pulled together to help Tara find her own way home.  This would make you crazy and feel blessed by God with all of his miracles with non-stop action, drama, tender romance, and a hint of intrigue on every page.

Will you be there to find your way home as the tide comes in tonight?
