Her heart said yes, but God was saying no. He said God
hadn’t answered his prayers and had abandoned him. So begins the story of the
stubborn hearts of Kate and Matt. Kate has returned to her ancestral home,
called Chapel Bluff, with her grandmother to fix up the old house and bring it
back to life. Unsuccessful in relationships, Kate hasn’t found the man God
had for her future husband. Discouragement has set in. Matt had been hired to do
the work at Chapel Hill. Preferring to work alone and actually to be left
alone, he doesn’t appreciate Kate’s wanting to help, wanting to talk, wanting
to be his friend. When his wife died, he had withdrawn into himself and given
up his career, but he didn’t count on the persistence of one young woman who
saw the hurt in his eyes and wanted to help.
As Kate spends time with Matt, she sees his heart and
believes that God sent her to help him find purpose in his life again. Finally,
her heart says yes and God says yes.
The reader hurts with the main characters, laughs with the
antics of the “older” generation, and cheers for Matt and Kate when the final
chapter is read. I don’t want to give away what happens to both Kate and Matt
as they work on finding out that God does care about them and does answer prayers
in His time.
I received this book to review for free from Bethany House.
