As a blog book reviewer for Bethany House, one of the benefits is getting a free book. The model they chose for this cover, with her carefree expression, and the hanging of elbow out the side of what looks like a pick-up truck, intrigued me.
The story is told from two first-person points of view. One, the 27-year old Kai Miller, and 70-year old Donnetta Bradford – and how their lives intersect during a Texas Gulf Coast hurricane.
The story centers on these two women, their histories, their connections, and their faith or lack thereof. Both women have good hearts, and eventually, Kai becomes “family,” in more ways than one.
I enjoyed this book. It’s a fast read. There’s plenty of suspense during unanswered questions to keep you interested throughout the book. Plus, the added perceptions of the two main characters told from each other’s point of view. How Donnetta sees Kai and how Kai sees Donnetta is interesting.
But I think the dog Radar steals the show in many cases. A young dog which also gets caught in the hurricane, has some hilarious misadventures, dragging Kai, and Donnetta’s nephew Kemp Eldridge behind him.
The succeeding fast-developing romance and misunderstandings that develop between Kai and Kemp make for interesting reading. And Donnetta’s questions about her seemingly uncaring husband are answered in such a way that will leave you cheering!
I recommend this book. I enjoyed it. You will too.
