3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting story with a lot of history., July 5, 2000

Trust in Love is a very interesting story beginning in 1935 when a young African-American teacher named Ambrose Miller could not get a job in the segregated school system in Georgia. The ironic thing was that the school board member who interviewed him was a red-neck with less education than Ambrose had. Ambrose opted to go to the Ukraine in Russia to teach them about a new type of cotton plant. He marries a Ukrainian woman and has a daughter with her named Svetlana. Svetlana comes to the U.S. to go to college in Boston. (She goes by the name of Lana in the U.S.) Lana meets a young African-American college student named Boyd Howell who reminds her of her father. She and Boyd fall in love, and she gets pregnant before they are married. The heroine of Trust in Love ins Lana and Boyd's biological daugher, Aleesa. Lana and Boyd were told that their daughter died at birth, and she was adopted by an African-American couple who couldn't have children. The bulk of the story is about how Aleesa falls in love with and marries a cargo pilot names Miles Kttredge who helps her find her birth parents. She ultimately meets the man who started it all, her maternal grandfather, Ambrose Miller, at her son's christening. This was a good, fast-paced story, however, I thought it was a little too drawn out towards the end. I thought that the story could have ended nicely at her son's christening where she met her grandfather.

Aleesa Haskins wants to fall in love, but her past prevents her from doing it fully when she meets Miles Kittridge. Until she can close that chapter of her life, she is afraid to put her heart into their relationship. Miles loves Aleesa and helps her find out the pieces of her missing puzzle. When they discover the truth about her past, they must rely on each other body and soul to see if their love is true.

This was a wonderfully sweet story. Tugged at my heart.

Aleesa and Miles is a simple love story that you don't want to miss. Miles falls inlove with Aleesa on site, but it takes her awhile to come around. Aleesa,is adopted, and wants to find her real parents before she settles down with Miles. But in the end everything works out for the two. You get a chance to see them as a dating couple as well as a married couple which i throught was nice.
