Anna Schmidt The tranquillity of Nantucket Island offered poor but proud Lucie McNeil refuge, a place to dream about a better life.

Gail Gaymer Martin A Boy's Special Gifts -- With joy in his heart, eight-year
Mac Hayden sought out all kinds of adventures. And when he saw a man with a kite,
Mac bounded over to make a new friend. He didn't think that his being different
would deter anyone from accepting him. And he wouldn't take no for an answer
as he pulled the aloof Jordan Baird into his happy-go-lucky world.
A Mother's Love -- After her in-laws gave her
payoff money to rid themselves of her and her little boy, single mom Meara
Hayden wanted to start over somewhere new. With her abundant faith and her
son's enthusiasm, she knew she could do it. She just never thought one simple
kite soaring in the sky could lead her to love again.

Having stumbled off the beaten path, Jordan Baird felt as aimless as the kites
he made. He'd lost his beloved wife and child and led a reclusive life, paying
a self-imposed penance. But unexpectedly a mother and her son had him believing
in new possibilities, in the happiness of love and faith in God. Did Jordan
dare dream of the riches life had to offer? Buy this book at Barnes and Noble |
