This handsome firefighter makes a living coming to the rescue, but Gin doesn't need a man to fight her battles.

After Raine's dad walked out, Ginevieve Lightly never lived in one place too long, a rambling lifestyle that defined her daughter's youth. When their car dies in Banister Falls, Wisconsin, Gin promises Raine they can stay until she finishes her senior year of high school. Gin will do anything to make sure her daughter has a bright future . . . a future that's compromised when Raine reveals she's pregnant.

Dan Moretti has only ever called Banister Falls home. After losing his best friend in a tragic accident, Dan devoted himself to responding to fires, rescuing the helpless, and guiding Cody Bennett, his best friend's son, through life. With Cody being the epitome of the good kid, it was an easy job. Until he says four little words: "The baby is mine."

Knowing gossip of Raine's pregnancy will erupt sooner or later in the small town, Gin's reflex is to grab the suitcase and escape to a new city, a new life. But with each passing day, Gin's feet stay rooted in Banister Falls, and she falls a little more for this local firefighter who shows her not all men abandon women at the first sign of smoke.

As Gin and Dan do the best they can to guide the two teenagers through their early entry into adulthood, they discover together that romance can bloom in the rockiest of situations. And God can turn the pieces of a broken past into a beautiful new beginning.

      Starred review from November 15, 2014

      After her husband abandoned them, Gin Lightly and her young daughter, Raine, never stayed in one place very long. By the time Raine reaches her senior year in high school and their car breaks down in Banister Falls, WI, she begs her mother to let her finish an entire year in one place. Dan Moretti has never left his hometown, enjoying his job as firefighter and mentoring a teen named Cody, whose firefighter father was killed in a blaze. When Raine and Cody are assigned a school project, they eventually become intimate. Upon learning of her daughter's pregnancy, Gin's first reaction is to move again before the gossip starts in town, yet her attraction to Dan compels her to stay. Together, they struggle to rely on God to mend their broken families. VERDICT Springer, winner of the American Christian Fiction Writers 2009 Book of the Year for Family Treasures, infuses her engrossing narrative with believable characters whose personal struggles ring true. The issues the author raises, and her readable, unpretentious style makes this an excellent choice for CF book discussion groups.
