Determined to proctect the children of Teaville, Kansas, from the bullying she experienced as a child, Mercy McClain finds fulfillment working at the local orphanage and serving on the school board. When Aaron Firebrook, the worst of her childhood bullies, petitions the board for a teaching position, she's dead set against his getting the job.
Aaron knows he deserves every bit of Mercy's mistrust, but he's returned to his hometown a changed man and is seeking the forgiveness of those he wronged. He doesn't expect Mercy to like him, but surely he can prove he now has the children's best interests at heart.
Will resentment and old wounds hold them back, or can Mercy and Aaron overcome the past in time to battle the threats against the future of the town's orphan's?
MY THOUGHTS:
I am a huge fan of Melissa Jagear's work and I have patiently waited for her newest novel, A Chance at Forever, the third book in her "Teaville Moral Society" series. This newest book is a story of faith, love, redemption, and forgiveness.
The main characters, Mercy and Aaron, have issues from their past and present that they are trying to overcome. Aaron, in his youth, was known as George and he was a class A bully. It just so happened that Mercy was one of his targets as she has a deformed arm that he poked fun at. Mercy has a hard time believing Aaron has changed but the more time she spends with him and observes how he interacts with the orphans she soon finds that maybe more than just his name has changed.
This book is a beautiful story of love and how when we turn our lives over to God, things can change.
I would highly suggest this book to anyone who loves a good clean historical novel.
On a 5-Star scale = 5 Stars!!!!!
I would like to thank the author Melissa Jagears and Bethany House Publishers for my copy of A Chance at Forever. I received my complimentary copy with no expectations of a positive review.
