Sweetwater Gap
The new manager's presence is making it difficult. Grady MacKenzie takes an immediate disliking to Josephine and becomes outright cantankerous when she tries talking her family into selling. As she and Grady work side by side in the orchard, she begins to appreciate his devotion and quiet faith. She senses a vulnerability in him that makes her want to delve deeper, but there's no point letting her heart have its way-he's tied to the orchard, and she could never stay there.
"Sweetwater Gap" is a story that will always live on my shelf. God's redeeming, everlasting and unconditional love is beautifully illustrated through Josephine's precarious flirtation with life and death. Ian, a ghost from her past, and Grady, her love for the future, bring Josie to a crossroads; will she determinedly self-destruct or will she accept the peace that passes all understanding and dare to live her life as it was intended? Set in the beautiful apple country of the North Carolina
SWEETWATER GAP was my first book by Denise Hunter and it will not be my last! I love this author's writing style. Her story captured me from the start and kept me involved until the end. Josie Mitchell comes home to the family orchard carrying a pile of old guilt which she's kept to herself all her life. Here where the old accident occurred that started it all ... she eventually works her way to confront it, to forgive herself, to renew her faith, and to open herself to joy and peace again -
So far, I have enjoyed all the books that I have read by this author. Stories of people struggling with something from their past, struggling with relationships, and finding new hope. Inspiring stories of hope..
I can relate to the disease the main character had. Yet another awesome story of how we fight God but He fights for us and pursues us.
Excellent readAnother good book by Denis Hunter! She was introduced to me by another great, Brenda Novak in January and Ive been devouring her books since that moment! Always a uplifting, grace filled book of the unconditional love of Christ, no matter our choices!
This book was a quick read. The plot was a parallel to Christian theology of sacrifice, with the heroine struggling with feelings of guilt after a childhood friend gives his life to save hers. She feels unworthy, and spends her life running away from truth, family, and love. When she finds out she has a disease that will kill her if it goes untreated, she decides this is God's judgement for the mistake she made resulting in her friend's death and refuses to take the medicine that will save her.

My, my, Sweetwater Gap was a heartwarming romance that went well beyond my initial expectations. Denise Hunter writes great romance novels--and I expected that--but this was her best yet. Few authors do allegories well, and if you look at Sweetwater Gap and Surrender Bay from a purely allegorical point of view, it's impossible to not be impressed with the amazing job the author did with both of them. I have never read a story with a more emotionally effective and believeable plot that"Sweetwater Gap" is a story that will always live on my shelf. God's redeeming, everlasting and unconditional love is beautifully illustrated through Josephine's precarious flirtation with life and death.
