LORI'S REVIEW

This is a thoroughly engaging book! One that took me just a day to read because I just couldn't put it down!

I loved it because it was about family and

I had to laugh at some of the things the children did and how they did it!

I even wished I had their energy! Children are a blessing from God are they not? I know mine was even tho I only had one. Sometimes just him alone was a handful but i love him with all my heart.

This story is about forgiveness and trust. I feel like in order to move on u have to forgive yourself and others if possible. But, sometimes it's very hard to trust someone even if they are telling the truth. I'm glad that everything worked out for this family.

I love God's timing in things don't you?

I liked it because the name Goldie since that is my friends name.

As I started to read this book, it brought to mind another story told long ago for the Bible. I think that this is another reason I enjoyed the story so much!! .

There wasn't nothing that I didn't like about the story. I just didn't really like the deception that was played out but I guess without that God wouldn't really be at work here now would He? He shows that people can really change if they work hard at it and really does want to . For , without God we'd never make it on our own even though we think we can. Sometimes that's how He puts in our place whether we like it or not.

I believe I will be looking for more of this author's works since I enjoyed this one so much!!

I'd like to know if Hope and Caleb and family will continue to grow in many things!

Thanks for a wonderful story!

Guest Post from Tanya Eavenson

I’d like to thank Celebrate Lit for featuring my first novella in my Gaining Love Series, To Gain a Mommy, for this tour. I’m looking forward to visiting with you along the way!

Recently I was asked to share what inspired me to write To Gain a Mommy. Believe it or not, my inspiration came from a prayer.

Last year my employer offered me a great promotion, but the catch was I’d have little time to spend with my family. So I prayed, asking God for direction for my family, my job, and my writing.

God knows us so well. He knew I had a desire to work with other authors and to write my first novella. He also knew that without a push, I wouldn’t do it.

It all began with a simple post on my Facebook timeline. Another writer posted that she had messaged me but wanted to let me know since FB has a couple of message boxes (I had no idea!). I clicked on my messages, and there it was—the extra message box, filled. As I read through the messages, I found one asking if I’d be interested in joining a novella boxed set. Right away I knew God had answered my prayer.

Needless to say, I didn’t take the position at work and joined the boxed set. Since then, To Gain a Mommy has become an international bestseller and has been a finalist in two contests. My Gaining Love series continues to grow, with the third novella, To Gain a Bodyguard, releasing in time for Christmas. Isn’t God good!

The Lord tells us to trust in Him and that if we do, He will direct our paths. It still amazes me how the Lord works behind the scenes in our lives to give us hope and a future.

Yes, God gives us hope. He gives us a future. This is why I named my heroine in To Gain a Mommy Hope. Romans 5:5 says, “Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us” (NKJV). Although my heroine can’t see her future or what it might hold, she is reminded that God will not disappoint.

The Lord reminds us of the same in our own lives.
