GREAT ROMANCE

"She had nowhere to go ---- He had everything to lose --- Until they discovered the power of love" Cailin Rafferty arrived in Haven, Indiana looking for her children. She found love. [I would say sex as neither trusted the other]After four years, she had followed her husband from Ireland to New York.Samuel Jennings was a lawyer from Cincinnati, Ohio looking for a place to heal his heart and he found a family. He took in the three Rafferty children from the Orphan Train, Brendan, Megan and little Lottie.The Children's Aid Society was told that the 3 children were orphans and had no one to look after them. Cailin had to unravel the mystery of the disappearance of her children from their grandmother's home.Cailin was penniless and alone when she finally found the farm on Nanny Goat Hill Road and her children with Samuel.Samuel, who was more of a father to the children than their own was. How could Cailin take her children away from the quiet, warm-hearted man.How could she trust her own feelings for this man who scrambled her own emotions and yearnings.This is a wonderful story of how two people learn to trust and love again [after sex! my only complaint with this story]and how they make the best decisions for the children.Oh, and Lottie does find her "Dahi" after a lot of looking and misunderstanding. Mr. Thannington confused Lottie, and imported Englishman trying to claim the title of "his Lordship".Definitely recommended --M -- #3 in the HAVEN trilogy.
