Book Overview
Lauren Bailey may be a romantic at heart, but after a decade of matchmaking schemes gone wrong, there's only one match she's committed to now--the one that will make her a mother. Lauren is a dedicated first-grade teacher in Idaho, and her love for children has led her to the path of international adoption. To satisfy her adoption agency's requirements, she gladly agreed to remain single for the foreseeable future; however, just as her long wait comes to an end, Lauren is blindsided by a complication she never saw coming: Joshua Avery.
Joshua may be a substitute teacher by day, but Lauren finds his passion for creating educational technology as fascinating as his antics in the classroom. Though she does her best to downplay the undeniable connection between them, his relentless pursuit of her heart puts her commitment to stay unattached to the test and causes her once-firm conviction to waver.
With an impossible decision looming, Lauren might very well find herself choosing between the two deepest desires of her heart . . . even if saying yes to one means letting go of the other.

Who cut the onions?
Published by D.Wright , 1 month ago
I absolutely loved this book, I wish there was a follow up, maybe even a short story to see how everyone is doing.
Not once, not twice, but three times I was brough to tears both happy and sad. Nicole Deese did a fabulous job of making her reader feel like she was experiencing the love and heartache!
Giving hope to those who are struggling to let go and give it to God. If you're looking for a book that has relatable family struggles (and family love), strong godly friendships and guidance, look no further. Incredible story!
My new favorite book by Nicole Deese
