Heartwarming and Inspirational, Like it Says on the Cover, April 2 2004
When war correspondent Matt Caldwell interviewed his friend James Whitman, who ran a mission station in Indonesia, it hadn't occurred to him that terrorists watch television too. They blew up the mission, killing Matt's friend and wounding several children. Matt broke up on the air when he reported his friend's death and because of that his bosses told him to take six months off.Matt, his faith in God and life in general shattered, goes home to the arms of his family in small Caldwell Island, connected to the coast of South Carolina by a bridge, to help runt the Caldwell Cove Gazette, because he owned half the paper. However he hadn't reckoned on Sarah Reed who owned the other half. Sarah has four children, the youngest a baby. Her husband has been dead less than a year when Matt walked into their lives. The small town paper that had been hers and her husbands is her only livelihood. Now big time reporter Matt Caldwell has come to town and wants to change things. Sarah has babies to raise, she can't let that happen. This is an inspirational romance, so naturally it has an uplifting ending, but we worry quit a bit along the way as we read through the book. We worry about Matt and whether he'll get his faith back, whether he'll get over his psychological trauma and whether he'll wind up with Sarah. And we get that old feel good feeling inside as he takes to the children and the small town he's been away from for so long. You know, I really liked this book.
