The House that Love Built

The House that Love Built

By Beth Wiseman

Brooke is a young widow raising two children and living on the  memories of her wonderful husband who was killed in a car accident.  Owen moved to town to buy the Hadley Mansion, a big old house his ex-wife would have loved.  He met Brooke who owned the hardware store as he started the remodeling process.  Then he hired Hunter, the town’s young trouble maker whom Brooke didn’t want to be around, to work for him.  Throw in Brooke’s estranged parents, the original owner of the home, and Owen’s eccentric uncle, and you have quite an unusual family.  Of course, God is in the midst putting a family together.  With just the right amount of romance thrown in the book is a wonderful read. 

I love books about family – and this book is about a wonderful family that God put together – although they are not related by blood.  I could put myself inside this book; as I grew up my parents included many people in our family times.  As an adult, I treasure the “family” God has given me.  I couldn’t put this book down; had to carry my ipad in the car to read.  I loved that God was referred to often and was right in the middle of making Brooke, Owen, Hunter, and many more into one big family.  I feel closer to God when I read a book like this.  And the references to prayer makes you want to pray right along with them in the midst of their struggles.
