Serendipity

November 15, 2010
Maggie Rose is the answer to Todd Valmers prayers; she just doesnt know it yet. When Todds mother falls ill while they are traveling to his farm in Texas, mother and son are let off the train in Carvers Hollow, Arkansas, to seek medical help, which comes in the form of Maggie Rose. While she might not be a doctor, Maggie is a skilled healer and she does her best with Todds cantankerous mother. It only takes Todd a few days to realize that not only will his mother need someone like Maggie to help her in Texas, but also that Maggie would make the perfect wife for a farmer. Now all Todd has to do is convince Maggie to leave her comfortable life in Carvers Hollow and accept his proposal of marriage. With Serendipity, inspirational author Hake delivers her best book yet: a sweetly charming and richly emotional tale of love, hope, faith, and charity that will delight not only Christian-fiction fans, but also anyone who enjoys a well-written historical romance.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2010, American Library Association.)
