About this listen
Is a second chance within reach?
After losing his family and his leg in a car crash, widower Dirk Matthews dedicates his solitary life to woodworking and his mobility service dog, Molly. That is, until a troubled kid steals from his truck. Desperate to reach her grieving oldest son, widow Tessa Wagner agrees to have the boy help Dirk work on her family’s ranch. Only she doesn’t expect her own connection with the carpenter. Soon they’re feeling more than the shared loss of loved ones. But will past heartbreak stand in the way of their future?
From Love Inspired: Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope.

When patrol officer Trisha McCord's six-month-old son is nearly abducted, K-9 officer West Cole saves him just in time. The single mom has no leads on who would try to take her baby—or why. And West won’t let her deal with the threat on her own, especially with the kidnapper closing in and attacks escalating. With her child’s life at stake, Trisha, West and his K-9, Peanut, must race to catch a ruthless criminal in time to save innocent lives—including their own.

Story
Retired soldier Heath Adler never thought he’d see his ex-girlfriend, private investigator Rebecca Campbell, again—much less become her protector. But when her stepsister is murdered and her infant nephew is at risk, Rebecca soon has a target on her back. Whoever killed her stepsister is still out there—and they’re coming for Rebecca and the baby next. Now Heath will do anything he can to guard them both, but it’s one thing to hunt a killer…and quite another to stop one.

Alexandra Prince is clever, outspoken, and, yes, perhaps a bit impulsive. Yet she’s always been overshadowed by her siblings. While they are off on adventurous expeditions, she’s the one left to keep the family’s antique shop going while she works on a book about lady pirates—and longs for an adventure of her own. When she overhears a group of suspicious customers whispering about a plan to steal the Crown Jewels, she knows it’s her opportunity to shine. But she needs a little help.

Story
Mia Neal is a champion overthinker. Find something, fixate on it and spiral down. Fortunately, she puts that energy to good use: a podcast about Formula One, her favorite sport in the world. There’s nothing about racing Mia doesn’t adore. The speed. The drivers. The fierce competition. The single-minded ambition. Ironic for a woman who’s changed careers more times than she can count. Only now her salty takes on gorgeous Brit driver Xander Bishop have gone viral, and the podcast feels more and more like what she’s meant to do.

Narrator ruined the book
As a Mindy Obenhaus fan, I was thrilled to discover an audio version of her latest book! However, huge disappointment was in store! The voices — especially the attempts at male voices and children’s — were so unrealistic they were unpalatable! The accent was much more Southern than Texan. I am Texan so I do know the difference!). Mindy’s story did not disappoint. It was a sweet story of healing and hope. And I look forward to reading the sisters’ stories!
