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.
