Warrior's Heart by Donna Fleisher is about a young woman named Chris McIntyre who is trying to find her place within herself and in the world. The closer she comes to finding herself, the harder it is for her to endure the storm within her.

The intensity of emotion builds with every step, as Chris continues the journey of drawing closer to her Creator. The people of her new home town, Kimberly Square, seek to befriend and understand her unique fearlessness and determination. These characteristics not only cultivate her own faith, but plant a seed in the heart of a past enemy.

As Chris McIntyre attempts to love the people of her town and love her God, many twists and turns come her way. Her best friend's husband, Scott Mathis, mistrusts her around his wife, Erin, due to Chris' intense personality. They are soon forced to work together when a violent storm hits the town.

Chris, an ex-soldier, is fearless and determined to get the job done, whether she enjoys it or not, but deep within her soul she struggles to live a life she has never before experienced. These qualities appeal to the hearts of the townspeople.

Although much growth takes place in Chris's life, her story is still unfinished. In the Homeland Heroes series, she continues in her Christian walk in the next installment, Valiant Hope. I recommend this wonderful series for young adult women from 18 to 25 years of age who desire to find and mature their inner strength. -- Angela Wood, Christian Book Previews.com

I enjoyed this second book in the series. I agree with the other reviewer's opinion on Scott, Erin's husband. He has many annoying moments, but he does redeem himself later. Don't let one character in the book dissuade you from buying this series. We can't love every character we read about, just as we can't love each person we know or have come across.

I have read books one , two (this book Warrior's heart) and book three of this series. I thought book one and three were good - really good - but I had a hard time with this book. The conflict in the book felt contrived to me and I had a hard time keeping focused on the story - the book just couldn't hold my attention, in spite of the fact that I really like the characters (except, I wanted to smack Scott a few times). The story does pick up and improve toward the end. And I thought the ending was good. But, after reading the first three books in this series, I think you could skip this one and not miss much.
