Library Journal Review

Jade Connor and Tanner Eastman were best friends until a family tragedy tore them apart. Almost ten years later, they find each other again, and their innocent childhood feelings blossom into a love that is soon crushed by his mother's lies. When Jade's son is taken from her ten years later because her strong Christian beliefs make her appear fanatical, she must turn to the one man she never thought to trust again. She hopes he can use his legal skills to return the son he never knew he had. As Christian beliefs war with a system that views strong convictions as suspect, Kingsbury (Waiting for Morning) offers a basic, unsurprising "love lost, love found" plot, but her unusual legal twist makes for interesting developments. Purchase where demand for fact-based fiction is strong. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
