As her voice easily zings across the country, Isadora Presley is the capable and compassionate syndicated talk show host leading the broken-hearted and love bewildered into the right rules for true love. Yet, when she logs off and returns to her real world in the lovely and safe small town of Deep Haven, Minnesota, she can barely cross the road to get to the library - one of her favorite places.

Fortunately, Issy's longtime best friend, Lucy, who operates a small but famous donut business, brings her groceries and goodies. Traumatized from an auto collision that killed her mother and left her father in a care facility, Issy developed agoraphobia, fearing the loss of any control and depends heavily on her friend.

Lucy also has her own share of problems: not only with her business as well as her newly ignited feelings for Seb, an old high school flame, who returned to town to get a coaching job. After years of holding back any feelings for him, Lucy worries that he can still break her heart. What can she do? Who can she trust?

Further mayhem upsets Issy's small contained world when a stray dog and a new neighbor move next door. Angered by his thoughtlessness and mistreatment of her pansies, Issy lashes out at him. Despite the verbal thumping, her spirit and lovely looks captures the interest of Caleb Knight, who moved to Deep Haven seeking to be the high school football coach. How can he match the popular Seb to get the job?

Wounded in the Iraq war, Caleb is left with scars from burns and a prosthesis hiding a missing lower leg, Caleb is determined to make it on his own in this new town. Tuning in to catch his fave sports show on the radio, he listens to "My Foolish Heart" which is on just before. While finding it hard to get the right words out with Issy, the quiet of the night and the intimacy of the computer have him opening up his thoughts and desires to the host of the show. As things progress and feelings heighten, he feels confused. How can he be falling for two women at the same time?

Well-known for her Christian and inspirational books, Susan May Warren gains another touchdown with this delightful tale centered on family, friends, football and trust in God's wisdom. Warren subtly and skillfully covers a number of themes from internet intimacy (real or imagined), to recovery from devastating loss, to resiliency and faith. The characters are well-crafted with realistic flaws and you will feel for all of them as they reveal their hurt and troubled pasts to each other. "My Foolish Heart", the fourth book in the Deep Haven series, is a very entertaining and inspiring romance both as a stand alone or part of the series. Thank goodness there is another book on the way. A veritable treat to enjoy, especially with a delicious donut!
