Can these sweethearts regain the innocence of the past and find hope and healing in the Lord for their future?

Second chance in love. Second chance in life. Nate is a very supportive friend even though he feels he’s not smart enough. Missy needs a friend. She needs to forgive herself and find out her worth. This is a heartwarming story of second chances. It made me laugh. It made me cry. Liwen Ho has written an engrossing and well told story.

Well written second chance romance dealing with the serious issues of domestic abuse, unwed pregnancy and the challenge of option choices in dealing with challenges. Likeable characters learning about God’s love for his children.

Would have liked a little more on the psychology of battered women and the extensive need for treatment and support in recovery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nate and Missy were second chance sweethearts
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2023
Nate and Missy's love story is timeless and breathtaking. They were sweethearts in high school. She left for college. She met Brad. She thought she loved him. He became abusive and she left him and returned to Sun Valley to her brother, Mitch, his wife, Susan, and their 2 year old twin sons, Emmitt and Henri and Nate. Nate is still in love with her and prays that God will give them a second chance. She feels she is undeserving of his love. Mitch owns a construction company and Nate works for him. I love Nate and Missy's banter. Nate is with Missy when her baby is born and asks her to marry him.A bruised Reed will He not break, and a smoldering wick He will not snuff out Nate prayed "I love her so much. I know You're working everything out for our good, for both Missy and me. Tell me what I need to do, Lord." He felt strangely at peace.Nate told Missy "This baby is a blessing. Everyone is precious in God's sight. He's knitting her together in your womb. That's pretty amazing if you think about it. All her little parts are growing and coming together to form a person. Do you know what a great responsibility God has given you? He gave you this baby to take care of." Now hearing the truth from Nate's lips she saw a glimmer of hope. "Thank you dear friend. I needed that."Nate told Missy "You are amazing. You've always believed in me. Now it's my turn to tell you I believe in you." He proceeded to pray for her. Missy soaked on his words of comfort, grace and truth. "Because of God's grace, we met all those years ago, our friendship has grown, but one thing has stayed the same: our love for each other. I love you Missy and you love me. And we both love baby Grace. I want us to be a family and grow old with you. Will you marry me, Missy and make me the happiest man in the world?" "Oh Nate, Yes." He then placed the engagement ring on her finger. He leaned close and kissed her. Now by God's grace, they finally had their happy ever after. Nate would be forever grateful to live and be loved by his second chance sweetheart. 

Liwen has written another blessed story about being a construction worker, becoming a mother, and of course, being in love. I recommend this book and all of Liwen's books to everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a Great Story!
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2023
I loved this book! It’s a short story but is packed full of depth, redemption and love. Missy has made some mistakes and has endured terrible consequences. I love how her family and Nate rally around her to help her see her value and God’s love. I appreciate how Nate reflects God’s love to Missy. Especially loved when he told her, “Of course [God] loves you… He never stopped loving you. In fact, it’s during the times when we turn away from Him that He aches and longs for us the most.”
I just wish there was an epilogue to take the story a little bit further!

I enjoyed reading Ms Ho's story about love and grace. She often takes difficult subjects and then spins a story that delivers her message wonderfully.

A beautiful, clean story of God's love and redemption. These characters learn how much our heavenly father loves us through the love and acceptance of his children here on earth. A beautiful story of healing, self-forgiveness and letting love grow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Choices Have Consequences
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2020
Choices…. life is about choices. We all make them, both good and bad. Usually there’s a build up to making a choice, but once its made consequences set in. Again, both good and bad.

What led to Brad’s anger? Why did Missy running away from G_d into the arms of an unbeliever? And Nate, he made choices too. He chose to remain faithful and trust his prayers were received.

Often there will be collateral damage to choices. Missy sure knew about that. Brad presented himself in a totally different light than he actually was. And Missy suffered while living in desperation.

Nate also suffered collateral damage…. not of his own making, but damage from Missy’s choices. However, Nate remained true to his beliefs and kept praying for Missy… for five looooong years. He never gave up.

Nate and Missy’s reunion isn’t the easiest. There are real complications to work out. But there is a scripture that gave them confidence and assurance: All things work together for those who love the Lord.

👁 OBSERVATIONS:

… Missy had to be reminded that G_d is about the business of redemption. She also had to learn to see herself through G_d’s eyes and not the damaged woman she had become with Brad.

… Abuse often is hidden. For some reason it seems the abused is the one stigmatized and not the one dishing it out.

… Can’t imagine any woman not wanting a Nate in her life.

🤔 WISHES:
… Wanted to know more about Brad. What made him tick? Just who was he and why? Does he ever appear in Missy’s life again? Does he ever see himself, really see himself? Does he ever realize his wrongs, his faults? Does he ever feel remorse? Is he even capable of feeling remorse? Does he wonder or question himself concerning Missy…. concerning Grace. Did he become a doctor? How does he justify his behavior? Did he become a doctor? Just what is Brad’s future? Remember, all choices, all decisions have consequences. I’d love to know how Brad lived with himself.

I received an advance copy of this storyline and freely am leaving my personal thoughts, observations and wishes.
