Coming Home to You

Book excerpt: Addison Bradley devotes her life to educating and fostering children; she helps to support and heal children who have become homeless, and it is a bittersweet experience when the children are returned home or placed in a permanent foster home. Occasionally, a child worms their way into Addison's affections, and the parting breaks her heart. When an orphaned girl comes to Addison's notice, she could never have imagined the joy and heartbreak that saving this little girl would cause her. After offering to home Lacey, Addison becomes entangled in her guardian's life. Despite their attraction, he pushes Addison from his life, taking the little girl with him. Support from her good friends and relatives helps Addison to weather the storms of emotion the man causes. A happy event generates reunions and the acceptance of family members, which offset the complications. When Lacey arrives unexpectedly, Addison once again becomes the girl's carer. Will the small girl remain with her, or will her guardian remove her again, causing Lacey and Addison to lose touch? Unbeknownst to her, Greyson, the guardian, is dealing with his own demons, and his decision will impact Addison's life.
