A Time for Healing
As an active church member, Jaci Sinclair believes the Christian message that
forgiveness is open to all…all except her, that is. Years ago, Jaci made a life-changing
mistake, and now she’s sure she doesn’t deserve the one thing she wants the most—a
family of her own. But when Hunter Grant walks into her life, her world is turned upside
down. Not only does he make her desire a family even more, he shines a lamp on the
one thing she refuses to see. Ex-FBI hostage negotiator, Hunter Grant, has lost the one
thing he treasured the most—his family. Filled with bitterness and anger toward God,
Hunter vows never to let anyone close to him again. He moves to Yellow Rose, Texas,
trying to forget the tragic deaths of his wife and son—deaths he should have prevented.
Wanting to lose himself in the sleepy little town, he is not prepared for the powerful
feelings Jaci stirs within him. As Jaci’s and Hunter’s worlds collide, neither is prepared
to face the demons that haunt their pasts and hinder their future together, but for
everything there is a season…even a time for healing.
Jaci and Hunter are two Christians that have endured tougher trials than most in A Time
for Healing. Jaci has turned closer to God and forgives everyone but herself, although
she’s done an amazing job of turning her life around. She survived the foster care
system, won a scholarship to study veterinary science in school, and bought and runs a
successful veterinary business. On top of all this, she is fostering a teenage boy, Billy,
who lost his mother to drugs and is understandably hard to handle. She’s a great, strong
character and easy to identify with. She falls hard for Hunter, who hasn’t been able to
forgive God or himself for the death of his family. He’s turned his back on his career, his
church, and Los Angeles to turn to ranching and to hide from the rest of humanity. Jaci
and the Yellow Rose community pull him in and he (and the reader) cannot help falling
for Jaci, Billy, and the town.
Jaci, Hunter, Billy and the secondary characters are engaging, helping to make A Time
for Healing a nice, uplifting read.
