A drug-induced crime. A rescue worker down. An unknown hero. Anne Lundstorm is running from her past. But it’s about to catch up. EMT Anne Lundstrom thought she’d escaped the pain of her past when she moved out of the city and into the quiet town of Deep Haven. She certainly never expected to get roped into helping Noah Standing Bear run his summer camp for inner-city kids. But Noah has a charisma she can’t ignore, and romance is in the air. Has God brought Anne the one man who can understand her dark past and help her face it? 

This was a really great love story about a young woman seeking to escape her past and start her life over in a new town. However, she runs into someone she can’t seem to avoid and gets roped into helping him with his camp by providing the first aid worker they desperately need in order to keep the camp running. Working with kids exactly like the ones she’s seeking to avoid is not what she expected. Perhaps God has a lesson in this experience after all – and maybe even the love she’s yearning for too.

This is a joy-filled, light romance featuring a strong woman, an atypical hero (in that he’s a minority – Native Indian), and a quaint small town. It wasn’t until I read this novel that I realized so many heroes in Christian romance seem to be all “white” and not many of them are Native Indian, African-American, Chinese, Japanese, or East Indian. I applaud Susan May Warren for taking a chance and expanding the leading hero role to include such an attractive, but different, hero in this novel! It totally works for me!

Throughout the whole novel is the story that Jesus Christ is the one who can set you free from you past and be with you in your present and in your future.

The setting is striking in that it is mostly in a wilderness camp for troubled teens. There is a lot of action, adventure, and an outdoorsyness that will want to send you on a hike through the wilderness (albeit on a well groomed trail!) of your own.

I really enjoyed this novel and look forward to reading more of Susan May Warren’s delightful contemporary love stories.
