Child of Promise (Morgan, Kathleen, Brides of Culdee Creek, Bk. 4.)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Kathleen Morgan¹s books for the general market have earned rave reviews and hooked thousands of romance fans. Her first inspirational series, Brides of Culdee Creek, has proven successful as well. Woman of Grace and Lady of Light each climbed the CBA Marketplace best-selling fiction list. This new release, Child of Promise, is the final book in the series. Beth MacKay, the daughter of Culdee Creek¹s owner, returns home after completing medical school to take over the aging Doc Childress¹s practice. Reluctantly, her life and heart become entwined with that of Grand View¹s Episcopalian priest, Noah Starr. But Noah struggles with his faith and calling since his wife died and his daughter, Emily, was disabled with cerebral palsy due to the difficult birth. When Beth becomes embroiled in a spousal abuse case between two of Noah¹s parishioners, she encourages the battered woman to leave her husband for her own safety. Noah cautions the woman to try to work things out, and when the abuse ends in tragedy, it¹s the last straw for the already-doubtful priest. Despondent and shaken, he announces his resignation to the church. Only with Beth¹s faith and love, and a little help from the community, can Noah find his way back to the life and calling God has always intended for him.
From the Back Cover
Leaving him ripped her heart apart. Coming back tore it open again. Will Beth let fear keep her from Noah, her kindred soul?
Beth MacKay is home again, back to Culdee Creek where her loving family has been waiting for five years. When she left to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor, she was hopelessly devoted to Noah Starr, the minister of Grand Viewís parish, and utterly heartbroken at his marriage to someone else.
Little Beth is all grown up now, over her childish crush and brandishing a fierce determination to prove sheís not just an illegitimate half-breed. But as Dr. Elizabeth MacKay, Beth is carrying more than just a medical degree; the wounds of her childhood have compounded with a newer hurt that festers deep inside.
Noah is widowed now, a single father to Emily, his handicapped baby girl. His heart is also ragged, torn by grief and a growing sense of disillusion with the pastorate. Had he only imagined his calling to the ministry?
Noah and Bethís lives soon become intertwined as they both exercise their gifts and serve the people of Grand View. These two injured souls risk everything as they are irresistibly drawn to each other and the healing grace of their Father.
