I read this book a long time ago and still remember it. I wasn't 'into' christian romance at the time but this one stood out. The woman lost her dad at an early age and her mother became mean to her. She's now a greeting cards artist(at least as I remember it - I know she draws)! She's on the roof of a tall building and looks sad. The wind blows her sketch and she instinctively grabs for it. A man grabs her thinking she's going to jump. Turns out he's a psychiatrist or psychologist(christian of course!)and he ends up liking her but knows from looking at her and seeing her drawings (some show a girl on fire, etc) that something's wrong but she wont' talk about it. He talks her into doing a mural for some kids he's working with(troubled) and she becomes attached to one little boy. basically a good story with her working through her problems, healing with her mother, the developing romance, etc. I rate this one a 5 for this type book.thought it was really good.
great book
