Publisher's summary

Brad and Emily return in a heartwarming and emotional story about a family faced with secrets and an unexpected visitor who could destroy their happily ever after.

A Different Kind of Love brings back the couple you fell in love with in The Forgotten Child.

Now, years later, Brad and Emily are faced with an entirely new set of challenges with their preteen autistic boy when his mother, Crystal, returns. She wants a relationship with the boy she abandoned - something Brad and Emily never expected. She says she's changed, but can the Friessens believe her?

Great job

This one was hard to listen to for me. I am a mom and a step mom so I put myself in her shoes and it made things even more real. The things she has down for their son is incredible. Autistic children can be hard to deal with sometimes but Emily gives him all of the tools he needs to succeed. Crystal coming in and not knowing a thing was a hard thing to watch. This is one heck of a great book!

I enjoyed this book and the narration. Characters were relatable for the most part. I like the family dynamics in this book and how they developed.

A Strong family can overcome difficult situations

This is an interesting story. It talks about a short slice in time from Friessens family. We can see happiness, sorrow, family relationships, love and support.

This story also talks about second marriage and dealing with ex, living with lies and how much they might heart in the end.

Narrator did a great job. She has given a unique voice and personality to each character. She has made this book very entertaining to listen.

A Different Kind of Love

Brad and Emily face a very difficult situation... how to handle Trevor’s birth mother coming back and trying to insert herself into his life.

Lorhainne Eckhart does a great job showing how this can have an impact on the entire family. I really felt for the characters.

Once again Valerie Gilbert delivers a great performance.
