Amanda Powers would be forever grateful to God for reuniting her with her kidnapped son. Her beloved child needed her now more than ever. And so did embittered widow Garth Jorgensen, a man who had rejected his faith and grappled with the knowledge that he was not the boy's biological father. Amanda knew she should avoid an involvement with a man like Garth, but she sensed that God intended for her to wed him for the sake of her child. Did He also mean for her to build a real marriage with the one man she couldn't risk loving?.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A somewhat good read,
By A Customer
This review is from: For the Sake of Her Child (Love Inspired #39) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book had a great setup and premise: Amanda, whose son was missing for the last seven years, suddenly finds he's been raised by Garth, who erronously thought Amanda's son was his own. Her son is sick, and Garth wants to hold back on revealing the startling news about his parentage until he gets better. For the goodwill of their son, Garth and Amanda marry. However, it is unclear if this marriage will last since they've married for the son's health reasons. Garth, a non-believer, refuses to receive Amanda's Christ, which is cause for a big conflict, and a rift in their relationship. I thought this book was fairly good, but it did tend to drag in a few places. However, I would definately consider reading other books by this author.

Imagine losing your six month old son one night after you entrust him into someone else's care. Imagine coming home from work to a dark house, then searching for the next seven years, praying...hoping...when everyone else gives up. Imagine coming home one night and finding a man on the porch informing you that your son, the one you lost seven years before, is safe, and that HE has had them the entire time...
That's precisely what happened in this story. An unlikely paring between Garth and Amanda happens when she is forced to marry him to save the life of her sick child. Through her son, the two begin falling in love. But where Garth's past hurts and loss of faith in God drive a wedge between being able to make this a true marriage? Will Jason recover from his illness, or where his sickness become worth, halting any sense of happiness for either one of his parents? This was such a good story! I love the whole story. It always warms my heart to see a man being a "real" father to a boy that he really doesn't even have to claim. He could have walked away and taken his life back - especially with the financial strain that Jason's illness was putting on him. But Garth was a father in every since of the word. Some other man may have shared in the conception, but Garth was there for Jason, holding his head while he vommitted, holding him as he cried in agonizing pain all night long...Garth was his father!!! My only complaint is int he last chapter (which was very, very good by the way!) Some of the words seem to be missing...Something happened int he editing or printing process. Is this just the copy I had, or was it in all the copies of this book? I really would have enjoyed reading Garth's response to something Amanda said, but it was cut off... And I'm happy to say that the marriage went to a "new level" before the end of the book...That was not the final thing that made this a true love story...the end...no, it was the "I love you" and the being reunited!!! This is a MUST read!
