A Soldier's Family

Today's review is
A Soldier's Family
by
Cheryl Wyatt

This is the second book in the Wings of Refuge series (see the post on January 2 about A Soldier's Promise). This book features Amber's best friend, Celia Munoz and one of the pararescue jumpers in Joel Montgomery's unit, Manny Pena. This book has one of the best first lines I've ever seen:

"This was not the smartest way to die."

It is a wonderful romance, but the heart of the book is really the development of deeper relationships with God -- for Manny as a new Christian and for Celia who has been hurt and has fallen away from the church. There is also an amazing story line dealing with Celia's son, Javier -- I can't explain it without giving away a major part of the story.

Bottom line -- READ THIS BOOK! Even if you haven't had a chance to read A Soldier's Promise, you will love this book.

BACK COVER COPY FOR A SOLDIER'S FAMILY:

On A Crash Course With Love

She was the woman of pararescue jumper Manny Péna's dreams. But he'd stuck his foot in his mouth the last time he met Celia Munez. Now, grounded after a parachuting accident, he was desperate to make amends with the beautiful widow. But Celia wasn't having it. The last thing she needed was another man with a dangerous job—even if he had given his life to God. Yet Manny's growing commitment to her and her troubled son began to convince her that perhaps she should take her own leap of faith.
