5.0 out of 5 stars So Sweet!, August 16, 2001

This review is from: Mother's Day Miracle (If Wishes Were Husbands, Book 1) (Love Inspired #101) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is such a well written, heartfelt story. It makes you smile all the way through because there's this sense of joy, rightness throughout every chapter. The basic storyline is that a single librarian (I can relate) and a halfbreed, stunningly handsome Indian unite in a convenient marriage to help him keep custody of his sister's kids. There could be some complaint that Wade's Cree heritage wasn't high-lighted enough, but, as a part-breed Choctaw, I can say that that is not uncommon in real life, especially for non-reservation (or no longer reservation) Indians. We tend to be pretty normal. I thought that aspect was realistic and sensitive.

And the caring Clarissa and Wade both have for the kids is touching. The characters are, over all, well drawn and sympathetic. And there's pining! Isn't that the best part of a romance novel? It's not will they/won't they, it's when and how. Lois Richer did a wonderful job of pulling me in and making me feel on the verge--on the verge of Clarissa realizing her own feelings, of Wade accepting them, on the edge of a happy ending. I loved it, and I would highly recommend it to any hopeless romantic.

5.0 out of 5 stars you cant help but fall inlove with these characters, September 10, 2001

This review is from: Mother's Day Miracle (If Wishes Were Husbands, Book 1) (Love Inspired #101) (Mass Market Paperback)

I picked this book up at the library and have since been hunted down when ever i walk in their doors. I have wanted to read this book over and over and if i didnt know how much i want others to read it. I would have kept if and just payed over due fines on it :) i simply cant express the emotions that lois gets you to feel as you go with clara and see what finding love in the hard places of life is all about. Its heart warming and i cried at the very human side that is always present in lois' work. Love is not always right before our eyes, but we serve the God of love, and with His help all things are possible. Even the romance budding between wade and clara. This book is worth every penny, when i saw it for sale i jumped on it. I suggest you do too. Ive read this many times and it never gets old it is worth buying. ps i dont suggest any one steal from the library, let me be the first to say its just wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Colorful Characters, a great read!, July 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mother's Day Miracle (If Wishes Were Husbands, Book 1) (Love Inspired #101) (Mass Market Paperback)

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Ms. Richer has such a wonderful gift when it comes to making her characters come alive. especially the children. The heroine, Clarissa, was a very giving person who wants a husband. It was really quite funny they way the heroine, Wade Featherhawk walked up on her while she was praying for a husband. How embarassing! But oh-so-enjoyable to read about! The book was touching with a great emotional payoff at the end. I would have liked to see more about Wade's ancestry but even so, there were so many other things to love about this story that I didn't mind. What a tribute to all the women who unselfishly give to others and trust God for the rest. Definitely a keeper! I like it so much, I'm ordering a couple more by Ms. Richer.
