Sweet Haley Summers wants to do something special for her
neighbor's birthday so she writes the McMillian Charitable
Foundation and asks that they help Dr. Maureen Chandler find
the baby she gave up for adoption a long time ago. The
foundation doesn't usually fulfill these types of requests
but David McMillian sees an opportunity to help his friend
and executive assistant Keith Watson see that there is more
to life than work, ambition, and the financial bottom line.
David sends a reluctant Keith off to investigate the request.
Keith's search leads him first to Claire Summers, Haley's
mother, who is shocked to realize that Haley had overheard a
private conversation and took action. At first, Claire's
not impressed with the all-business and unapproachable Keith
Watson. But as circumstances continue to throw them
together, Claire and Keith start to realize that they might
have stumbled unexpectedly into love.
Irene Hannon excels at writing Christian contemporary
romance that is tender-hearted, compelling, and emotionally
rich. In ONE PERFECT SPRING, Ms. Hannon expertly weaves
together story threads that tackle love in its many forms...
romantic love, family love, new love, old love. I really
appreciate how Ms. Hannon allows the relationships to grow
over time, allowing for the development of a deep
commitment. I thoroughly enjoyed joining these characters
on their journey.
Claire Summers is a determined, independent single mother
who is doing her best to make lemonade out of the lemons
life has handed her. Keith Watson is a results-oriented
workaholic with no time for a social life. As the executive
assistant to a local philanthropic businessman, he's used to
fielding requests for donations. But when a letter from
Claire's eleven-year-old daughter reaches his desk,
everything changes. The girl isn't asking for money, but for
help finding the long-lost son of an elderly neighbor.
As Keith digs reluctantly into this complicated assignment,
he has no idea how intertwined his life and Claire's will
become--nor how one little girl's kindhearted request will
touch so many lives and reap so many blessings.
Through compelling characters and surprising plot twists,
Irene Hannon offers readers this tenderhearted story of
family connections that demonstrates how life is like
lilacs--the biggest blooms often come only after the
harshest winters.
