Foundation of Love

An Uplifting Inspirational Romance

By: Amy Clipston

Narrated by: Lauren Berst

They were "only friends" . . . but they wanted so much more.

Crystal Glick is grateful to live with her brother's family since her father died and her fiancé, Owen, broke their engagement. Crystal loves her bruderskinner and cheerfully helps her sister-in-law through a difficult pregnancy with babies number seven and eight, but she yearns for a husband and children of her own.

Duane Bontrager is mourning the recent death of his wife, Connie, after twenty-four years of marriage. He and his grown sons have a thriving roofing business but can't get used to life without her. As the young men prepare to launch out on their own, Duane can't imagine life alone--nor with anyone but Connie.

When a roofing job at the Glicks introduces Duane and Crystal, they're attracted in spite of their fourteen-year age difference. But their bishop thinks Duane is better suited for the sweet widow Tricia, and Duane's sons object to his interest in any woman. Crystal's family fears losing her indispensable help. If she must go, they'd rather she be reunited with Owen in spite of his betrayal.

They're the only two who believe they're a match made in heaven, can Duane and Crystal overcome the obstacles to love?

Family relationships

Loves the drama of their coming to the decision as whether to marry or not.

enjoyed it

Great book, was such a good story. I did have trouble getting use to the narrator, but the book itself was great.

Simple loving story

Narrator’s voice was a little strident for the heroine portrayed. Harshness out of sync with sweetness of the character.

The deep love of each family

I Loved the second chance for each to find love after their loss of loved ones.

Amazing Read

Love it! I'm excited for the next book. This book does not disappoint. Danki
