Summary

It's never too late...to find the love of a family.

When divorcee Elise signs up to be a foster parent at the age of 50, she wonders if she made a huge mistake.

Her fear increases when her first placement comes straight from the police station in the middle of the night. Elise struggles to care for the angry teenager who is more difficult to love than anyone she's ever met before.

At only 15, DJ has lived a harder life than most other orphans.

A terrifying stepfather and a string of unfit foster parents has left DJ with a fragile heart that keeps its distance. That way no one can ever hurt her again.

When DJ is sent to live with Elise temporarily, the two struggle to connect while DJ makes secret plans to run away. But as Elise shares God's love, both hearts begins to soften and believe that a happily family might not be completely out of reach.

Fans of Karen Kingsbury will enjoy the realistic characters and faith-driven novels by Valerie Howard.

An Amazingly beautiful story

Oh my gosh I loved it! Such an emotional book! DJ has so much pain locked inside! Is it possible for Elise to be an emergency foster parent? You will not believe the love and hurt that comes through as you listen to this book. I will definitely be looking for more from this author. I received a free code for this book from Audiobooks Unleashed to listen to on Audible. This review is my own honest opinion.
