Book Description

April 1, 2009

Amelia North needs refuge, and finds it--in Refuge, Illinois. Stranded there after a car wreck, the single mother expects to be cold-shouldered. After all, she's already been rejected by her parents, her church and her daughter's father. Instead, she finds a town full of people with open hands and open hearts...including pararescue jumper Ben Dillinger. Ben wants to help Amelia and her daughter find safety and stability. Instead, he finds himself freefalling--right into love with the ready-made family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartwarming Story, April 23, 2009

This review is from: Ready-Made Family (Wings of Refuge, Book 3) (Love Inspired #490) (Mass Market Paperback)
After reading the first two books in this Wings of Refuge series I couldn't wait to delve into Ready-Made Family. I read it the same evening I got it in the mail.
Ben-li Dillinger is loading his purchases when he hears a young girl shouting for help for her mother. Spotting the car smashed into a light pole Ben rushes to help. This story deals with a lot of emotional issues. Ben's brother has Downs Syndrome and while Ben is a Christian he is not perfect. Amelia is trying to get to a new job to get away from an abusive past, prejudiced parents,and a town that has mainly ostracised her. There's even more things that Ben and Amelia have to deal with along their road to finding each other and Amelia's path to faith. Loved this book and can't wait to read the next one in this series coming out in June. Highly Recommended!!

4.0 out of 5 stars God's Love Covers it All, May 14, 2009
By 
Catherine Hassan (Cincinnati, OH USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ready-Made Family (Wings of Refuge, Book 3) (Love Inspired #490) (Mass Market Paperback)
Book Three in Cheryl Wyatt's Wings of Refuge series continues to carry out her winning ways. While all of her books are very family oriented, this one has all kinds of family situations that need resolution.

Amelia North is a proud young woman whose life was changed forever by one slip-up in high school, a slip-up that meant pregnancy and estrangement from her father. Her "mistake" brought about a precious little girl, though, who became the most important thing in her life. Amelia finds herself down and out with no money, poor health, and now her car is totaled. She's stuck in the little town of Refuge, on her way to St. Louis for a job she desperately needs.

Enter pararescue jumper Ben Dillinger to the rescue. His heart breaks over the sad state of Amelia and her little girl Reece, and he knows he needs to help them. He feels God nudging him. But Amelia has been let down and shunned so much, even by her own parents, that she is determined that she has to refuse any offers of help from anyone, including God. Besides, she doesn't believe that anyone could really be as nice as Ben or the other people she meets in Refuge. There must be a catch, right?

Cheryl Wyatt has created a novel that will bring tears to your eyes at times, but in the end it will leave you feeling good and praising God for His provisions. She says that her characters are based on people in her own church and on her own life, having been far from God herself until she was an adult. She credits the church she belongs to with being God's instrument to change her. There is a lot in the novel to make us realize how important it is for us to let Jesus and His love shine through us, how living out our salvation and showing real love to others can change lives.

The author has done a lot of research to learn about the pararescue jumpers, research which makes a difference in the authenticity of this tale. This is a special group of people who deserve our respect and admiration, in my opinion, and I'm glad that this series has shone a spotlight on them. I didn't think much about these heroes before, but I certainly do now.

I heartily recommend Ready-Made Family to readers in general, as well as the other books in the series. It is a romance but much more than that. A fairly easy and quick read, it's hard to put down until you're finished.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, May 11, 2009
This review is from: Ready-Made Family (Wings of Refuge, Book 3) (Love Inspired #490) (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved this book! Cheryl Wyatt drew me in from the moment our hero, Ben, encountered a lost little girl (Reece) whose spirit-wounded mother desperately needs not only the hand of friendship, but God's love. So much of "romance" today delves into areas that I personally don't want to go. But Cheryl Wyatt's "Ready-Made Family" draws the reader into a small town, much like the town I live in, and into the hearts of her characters in a fast-paced, word-perfect way. A beautiful story of redemption and love, you will enjoy this wonderful read!
