ABOUT THE BOOK
Star Youngblood has always been a fighter – a necessity after her mother married a monster of a man. Now, she’s finally on the path to the stable life she’s always wanted. Her employer, Priscilla Kelly, is a sweet woman ravaged by rheumatoid arthritis, and Star will do anything to help her. Even if that means going toe to toe with Mrs. Kelly’s neglectful son.
After being betrayed on the mission field and devastated by the tragic death of his father, Paul Kelly gave up on God. He lives life on his own terms, biding his time as a corporate pilot until he can save enough money to begin his own flight school closer to home. His mother is all he has left, and he wants to be near her. He just didn’t expect her health to decline so quickly. When he discovers his mother has taken in a stray – a woman he’s not at all sure can be trusted – his protective instincts kick into high gear. Paul’s handled a lot of turbulence, but he’s never gone up against a force like Star.
As Paul and Star strive to protect his mother in their own ways, they soon find their own hearts are at the greatest risk.
MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
Star Youngblood is a strong young lady taking care of another strong but older woman. Priscilla Kelly enjoys living, but it is difficult for her because of her rheumatoid arthritis. This is the reason she hired Star to stay with her and help her out. But Mrs. Kelly’s son Paul didn’t like the setup, despite the fact that he never came to see his mom. But he has his job for now but he is determined to move his mother to as assisted living community. As soon as he saves enough money to open his new business. He wasn’t expecting his mom to take off on her trip of a lifetime with her employee Star, none the less. When he ended up on the trip as well, he never expected his life to change as it did.
Author Janet Ferguson pens another amazing, well written story that will keep her readers thinking about it long after it’s read. I love the interaction between Star and Paul. Star was now a Christian and Paul claimed to have given up on everything to do with God, but Star’s faith was too strong. I could understand Paul being upset with the Christians he had worked with before, but not his crossing God out of his life because of a persons behavior was a bit harsh. And Paul’s mom was so precious! I love her sweet character and he love for her son, and for Star.
A lot of things happen in this story, a lot of tensions much of the time, but it all fit perfectly well as Ms. Ferguson weaves it all together in the end. I really liked the Christian faith of the characters, and though Star’s faith came across so strong with Paul, it was still so subtle and handled in a professional way. It’s what Christian fiction is all about. I love this story, as well as the other stories in this series. If you are looking for a good clean Christian read, this is an awesome one to read. And if you are new to Janet W. Ferguson books, I highly recommend you check out this one a d her other books as well.
