Unlikely friends can be the hardest to let go. After her mother passed away in the midst of being swindled by a greedy religious leader, Amanda swore she'd never let anything like that happen again. That's why she became a nurse: to save as many lives as possible. But when Amanda's live-in boyfriend asks her to move out, she loses her job, and she struggles to make a new life in a new town, she becomes the one who needs saving. 92-year-old retired Army chaplain Hector Demetri's work on Earth is done, and he's more than ready to spend eternity with his late wife in heaven, but when a foolish accident lands him in the hospital, his son decides to hire a home nurse to keep Hector's heart pumping for as long as humanly possible, much to Hector's dismay. When Amanda meets Hector, their personalities instantly clash, but as they learn to open their hearts and listen to each other instead of judge, they grow to realize the value of friendship as they navigate Hector's sullen attitude and Amanda's hatred of anything remotely religious. Fans of Karen Kingsbury, Lisa Wingate, Cynthia Ruchti, and Katie Powner will also enjoy the true-to-life characters and faith-driven stories written by Valerie Howard. Available in Kindle, paperback, and audiobook format.
