Search - Courting Emma (Little Hickman Creek, Bk 3)

This book made really think about what forgiveness means and how it applies to Chrisitans. I liked it.

Courting Emma is a book about forgiveness. Emma has carried the pain and shame of her brutal alcoholic father her entire life. Jon, the local preacher, is working hard to help both Emma, and her father, who is now dying. This is the third and final book of
The Little Hickman Creek series by Sharlene McLaren. I highly recommend the series, and look forward to reading more books by this author.
