Laney McCain has unabashedly had her sights set on Galen O'Sullivan for years. And though Galen has treated her as nothing more than his best friend's pesky tag-along sister, Laney dares hope that now is the time he will open his eyes and truly recognize the woman she's become. But the arrival of Ishmael and Ivy Grubb, squatters on the O'Sullivans' land, diverts Galen's attention. Though the Grubbs are crass and uneducated, Galen shows mercy and allows them to stay in exchange for help around the farm. But it becomes a decision he lives to regret....Sometimes the Journey to Love Is Truly Bittersweet Brenda Talley - theromancestudio.com Ms. Cathy Marie Hake has a true gift for story-telling and this book is exceptional. The characters are truly phenomenal; they are so believable, it is as if the reader is looking at a picture! I literally had a hard time putting this novel down. It is a sweet story of Christian involvement and love toward others when, truly, it would have been much easier to react in hurt and anger. There are quite a few characters that are truly loveable; they are strong, dynamic people presented in such a way that I felt as if I know them all and love most of them! I highly recommend this marvelously sweet story of love which becomes Bittersweet!
