Emma Delaney is mortified when her precocious daughter leaps into a stranger’s arms and loudly proclaims that God has sent her new papa to their door. Emma’s not looking for a new husband, and this angry stranger certainly wouldn’t qualify if she were. Josiah Andrews is amused by the child’s announcement, but he’s here on business - looking for the man responsible for his brother’s death. Marriage hasn’t even appeared on the horizon of his plans for life. But Emma and Josiah find themselves drawn together by circumstances beyond their control. Can the hurt of the past and the confusion of the moment be overcome? Can either of them move beyond their own expectations to see the bigger picture God has planned.
Sweet Home Alabama by Paige Winship Dooly, Pamela Kaye Tracy, Pamela Griffin, and Lisa Harris
(Barbour Publishing, December 2006)
Head Over Heels - Nicole’s focus is only on her daughter when Jason finds her bogus secret admirer poem that she’d penned from the unsigned one her daughter wrote for class. While he fusses with a way to handle her non-existent infatuation, Nicole goes merrily about her business, happily bumbling almost every job in her path. Jason becomes exasperated that Nicole isn’t falling at his feet, and has to admit he might be the one with the secret crush. Will these two figure out that their admiration goes both ways before they drive each other nuts?
Review:
“It is refreshing to find a love story that is pure, innocent, entertaining and so romantic. “Sweet Home Alabama” is a pleasure to read. The stories are interwoven not only by the love poem but also by the characters. When a high school teacher assigns her students to write a love poem, she has no idea what she has set in motion.”
