A Mother's Last Gift

At twenty-eight years old, Troy is lost and not moving forward on the path he had planned. His marriage is ending, he's dropping out of his PhD program, and he's reluctantly returning to Iowa to teach high school geometry. Troy's terminally ill mother, Karen, is in Iowa, as is her caregiver, Jamie. Jamie is Troy's age and, despite having a learning disability and speech impediment, is an amazing caretaker. At first, Troy is hesitant about Jamie, but over time, he sees that she truly loves his mother-and does a remarkable job of showing it. Her Christian faith is central to her being, and it's reflected in everything she does. Troy soon begins to spend much of his time with his mother and Jamie. Troy's days are again filled with meaning and fulfillment. He knows that a positive influence has sparked this change in his life, but he never could have predicted its source. But will a cruel comment about Troy and Jamie's relationship shatter Troy's tenuous grip on his newfound faith in the deepest of loves? A Mother's Last Gift is a one-of-a-kind romance that touches the heart. It's a must read for those who believe in the power of true love.
