By Beth K. Vogt
What does a girl do when life doesn’t go according to her plan?
At 36, Kendall Haynes has seen some of her dreams come true. She’s a family physician helping kids with severe allergies and asthma achieve more fulfilling lives-a childhood struggle she knows all too well. But the feeling of being “the kid never picked” looms large when romance continues to evade her and yet another one of her closest friends gets engaged. Are Kendall’s dreams of having it all-a career, a husband, children-nothing more than childish wishing upon a star? Should she hold out for her elusive Plan A? Dust off Plan B? Or is it time to settle? God says he knows the plans he has for her-why can’t Kendall figure them out and be content with her life?
Griffin Walker prefers flying solo-both as an Air Force pilot and in his personal life. But a wrong choice and health problems pulled him out of the cockpit. His attempts to get out of “flying a desk” are complicated by his parents’ death-making Griffin the reluctant guardian of his sixteen-year-old brother, Ian. How did his life get so off course? Can God get his life back on track … or has there been a divine plan all along?
Catch a Falling Star reminds readers that romance isn’t just for twenty-somethings and that sometimes letting go of your “wish I may, wish I might” dreams is the only way to embrace everything God has waiting for you.
ISLAND BREEZES
Two people who want it all. Two people who even thought they had it all or at least most of it. The meet and can’t stand each other.
They finally figure out that they probably will never have it all, but have difficulty accepting that. The only thing they see to have in common is Griffin’s brother Ian. That certainly won’t move them into a love interest. They would like to be friends, but ithat isn’t easy. They aren’t even sure they like each other enough for that.
This book will tear at your heart strings. You’d better have that box of tissues handy as you near the end of this book. I had to use quite a few. I’m looking forward to more books by Ms. Vogt.
