DAD IN TRAINING : STORY BEHIND THE STORY,
By Gail Gaymer Martin (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dad in Training (Love Inspired) (Mass Market Paperback)
September. Where did it come from? I'm still looking for summer and it's nearly autumn. Greetings from Gail Gaymer Martin, an LI author since 1999 when I sold my first novel, UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR. Whew! That was exciting.
But then every book is exciting. DAD IN TRAINING is a special book to me, and I loved writing it. I grew up with dogs and cats in my life and, until a few years ago, rotated my pets between two dogs and a cat to two cats and a dog, then one dog and one cat, then one cat. My pets tend to live into their 20s so they become family to me, and the heartbreak of losing them is difficult. But my animals have left me with wonderful true stories that I've been able to weave into the Man's Best Friend series. In fact the second book, GROOM IN TRAINING, acknowledges my dog Jinx whose true story plays out in that book. The idea to write a series about dogs began after the death of our daughter, Brenda, three years ago. We suffered the horrendous emotion of losing a tremdnousl daughter to ovarian cancer, but from her death, we learned so many wonderful things about her we might have never known. Learning them, we could grasp those things and hang on, and we know that she's out of the world of suffering and I think she's in heaven taking care of dogs that need obedience training. Brenda loved animals, first fostering dogs and training them to be adoptable, and later owning two border collies of her own. They participated in agility and flyball, and she delighted in her pets. A series on traiing and adopting dogs seemed so appropriate to write in memory of Brenda. This photo was taken during her chemo treatments, hugging her two border collies--Nike and Miranda--and wearing a sweatshirt with Miranda look-alike image.

Heart Touching and Fun,
This review is from: Dad in Training (Love Inspired) (Mass Market Paperback)
Molly Manning works with learning disabled kids. She also has a soft touch for abused dogs. Her greatest desire is to bring the two together The kids learn by training the dogs, and it works well. The problem is she needs more room, and she wants Brent Runyon's building. Yes, she knows it's valuable. It's also vacant. So if he isn't going to use it, why not let her have it?
Well, for one thing, Brent wants to keep it. And while he's attracted to Molly, he has a few problems of his own, and this woman looks like trouble. He has all he can do learning to be a father to his troubled nephew, but he can't seem to make Molly go away. A fun filled and enjoyable story of faith, hope and forgiveness, and a love strong enough to break down all barriers.

Dad In Training,

This review is from: Dad in Training (Love Inspired) (Mass Market Paperback)
Great book. Loved the themes in the book like waiting on God's timing and forgiving not only others, but yourself also. Flows very nicely so it's not choppy and confusing. Well rounded characters that makes you feel like you know them by the end of the book. Loved how Molly didn't give up on her dreams and how Brent was able to leave his past behind him and find forgiveness after carrying a weight on his shoulders for years. This is a book you won't regret buying!
