Fiction Review: Forever Home by Hope Toler Dougherty

Book Description:
With a fulfilling job and a home of her own, former foster child, Merritt Hastings, relishes her stable, respectable life. Dreaming for more is a sure way for heartache. When a contested will turns her world upside down, she must revaluate what’s important to her, what’s worth fighting for, and what’s worth sacrificing.

Patience has never been Sam Daniels’ strong suit with his history of acting quickly and asking questions later, and he’s ready for changes in his life…now. Too bad the plans for acquiring a radio station didn’t include a contract. Now he’s out of a job, out of a radio station, and out of prospects.

While his life is in flux, at least he can help Merritt steady hers, or will he rush in and overstep …again?

Will the sparks flying between these two opposites lead to a happily-ever-after or heartbreak for both?

My Thoughts:
Dougherty has written a beautiful story full of emotion and heart. I love learning as I read fiction, and this book opened my eyes to the life of Merritt as a foster child and how difficult it is for kids who get moved around and feel lost. As an adult, Merritt is thankful for the woman, Millie, who took her in and loved her, but Millie has passed away and now Merritt has to deal with Millie's ruthless relatives. Along comes Sam, who grew up with stability and has dreams of owning a radio station. Merritt is practical while Sam is more of a dreamer. She's not sure she can trust him, and he wants her to give him a chance. I enjoyed this lovely story and all the great characters. If you want to read a novel with charm, faith, and hope, read Forever Home. This is the third book in the series and it can stand alone. I received a free copy with no expectations.
