Clayton is hoping to make it to the Cherokee Strip Land Run in Oklahoma. She wants to be able to take care of herself but she's open to marrying a complete stranger in hopes of finding happiness and help once her blindness completely takes over. She's spunky and eager to find her way in her new life. Clayton is hard working, equally determined and lacking confidence because of his appearance. Grace is young and determined and unfortunately also going blind. I really enjoyed this one! There's a reason its listed in the Goodreads Christian Fiction Swoony Awards. Note: Book number two in the collection A Match Made in Texas, but it can be read as a standalone. It is not something that easy to face but I found that in this case it was the most natural thing and, most of all, the only thing to do in order to live a peaceful life.Ĭhristian readers will love this lovely short story.

I also loved how the author handled the forgiveness theme. He had his own problems to fight but with Grace on his side he was able to understand what he had to do to get his own happy ending. I loved Grace’s willpower and I loved seeing her falling in love with Clayton.

Of course this is something I have always known, but reading about a blind woman fighting not to be considered a burden and constantly searching for her own happiness gave me such a joy I would love to start reading this novella all over again! I am glad that books like this one exist. You do not have to use your eyes to see if someone is worth loving, for instance. I would say that she saw what really mattered, and she showed me that there is always a way to see things. Grace, despite her blindness, was able to see many things. I have met many strong and determined heroines but this time I was completely in awe of this woman. There was something so sweet and inspirational about this story that I felt so good while reading it. But his past is haunting him, and when everything starts to be easier, someone from his past reappears and threatens to destroy his life again. The more he talks to her, the more he cannot stay away from her. When Clayton Weber shows up at Grace O’Malley’s doorstep, he does not imagine that the blind woman he is supposed to help needs more than a simple handyman.
