Isadora Presley is a broken young lady. She has been ever
since the accident that shattered her world. Issy held her
mother as she died in her own arms. Her dad, the local high
school football coach, is now a quadriplegic in the Care
Center. Issy came through the accident completely unharmed,
physically. She has not ventured more than a block away from
her home and yard in over two years. She cannot even bring
herself to go visit her dad one mile away.
Issy's dreams of becoming a big-time TV personality were
crushed in the accident that night as well. She hides behind
the radio personality of Miss Foolish Heart on a nighttime
talk show, produced from her own upstairs bedroom. She only
has to talk to her guests over the phone or respond to them
in the online chat room. That's easy for Issy. It's facing a
live person that terrifies her. Only her best friend Lucy
and her therapist know that she is Miss Foolish Heart.
Caleb Knight moves in next door to Issy when he is hired to
teach at the local high school and take the football
coaching position. The house he rents has not been occupied
in some time, and Issy hopes he will do some major clean up
in the yard. It's certainly an eye sore compared to hers,
which she keeps perfectly manicured. But when Caleb's dog
destroys one of her prize hostas, Issy marches over to
Caleb's house and gives him a list of things she wants him
to do to improve the looks of the place. Caleb is instantly
intrigued by Issy's eyes. He sees not only their beauty, but
also her troubled soul.
While waiting to hear his favorite radio show one night, he
tunes in early and catches the end of Miss Foolish Heart.
Something she says about finding love moves him to call in
to the show, using the moniker "BoyNextDoor" as his call-in
name. A series of dialogs begins between the two of them as
Miss Foolish Heart tries to help BoyNextDoor get his Girl.
Little does she know that she's the Girl, and Caleb doesn't
know that Issy is Miss Foolish Heart, not at first that is.
This delightful story will warm your heart and bring a smile
to your face as Caleb tries to do everything Issy tells him
to do to get the Girl. Caleb has seen trauma himself and is
only partially the man he used to be, literally. He draws
from his own experience with his own disability to bring
Issy back from her lonely place and into the world again.
This is an inspirational story about God's loving grace,
getting a second chance, and then doing what is right with
that second chance. MY FOOLISH HEART is a romantic
inspirational you will not want to miss.
