The Dandelion Field (Zondervan, January 2015)
This handsome firefighter makes a living coming to the rescue, but Gin doesn’t need a man to fight her battles.
After Raine’s dad walked out, Ginevieve Lightly never lived in one
place too long, a rambling lifestyle that defined her daughter’s youth.
When their car dies in Banister Falls, Wisconsin, Gin promises Raine
they can stay until she finishes her senior year of high school. Gin
will do anything to make sure her daughter has a bright future . . . a
future that’s compromised when Raine reveals she’s pregnant.
Dan Moretti has only ever called Banister Falls home. After losing
his best friend in a tragic accident, Dan devoted himself to responding
to fires, rescuing the helpless, and guiding Cody Bennett, his best
friend’s son, through life. With Cody being the epitome of the good kid,
it was an easy job. Until he says four little words: “The baby is
mine.”
Knowing gossip of Raine’s pregnancy will erupt sooner or later in the
small town, Gin’s reflex is to grab the suitcase and escape to a new
city, a new life. But with each passing day, Gin’s feet stay rooted in
Banister Falls, and she falls a little more for this local firefighter
who shows her not all men abandon women at the first sign of smoke.
As Gin and Dan do the best they can to guide the two teenagers
through their early entry into adulthood, they discover together that
romance can bloom in the rockiest of situations. And God can turn the
pieces of a broken past into a beautiful new beginning.

My Review
Talk about life repeating itself, author Kathryn Springer has done an
amazing job of presenting a story, that does have life repeating, but
with a tender heart. Ginevieve Lightly has had a rough road to travel,
coming from a dysfunctional upbringing, and then a pregnant teen.
Ginevieve’s
daughter Raine is a remarkable young woman, she has led a life most of
us wouldn’t want to, but her mother has always tended to her well being.
She has spent most of her life on the road, her mother would move from
town to town, but has been a quick learner, and done well in school. Her
mother has promised she will be able to graduate from Banister Falls,
and they remain put.
Of course, the story does lead us to Raine
repeating her mother’s actions, when she falls in love with a local boy,
Cody. His father died when he was four, and a lifetime friend of his
parents, has helped with his up bring. Cody looks up to Dan Moretti, who
you will also come to love; his actions speak more than his words.
What
will become of these two young people on the brink of their lives, but
now with a baby on the way? Will Cody abandon Raine, like her own father
did, he is an excellent student and winning scholarships to college is
assured. Will Raine be able to achieve her goals here, or end up much
like her mom? Now don’t get me wrong, her mom has done a wonderful job
of raising her, but they have lived from pillar to post.
What about
Dan, his attraction to Cody’s mom has existed before his friend Max ever
dated her. How about his new spark towards Gin? Is that even possible?
This is a real page-turner of a book, and you will never be able to guess how it is all going to turn out. Enjoy!
I received this book through Litfuse Publicity Book Tours, and was not required to give a positive review.
