A vivacious, undisciplined two year old named Charity has Shauna Alexander seriously questioning her calling as a child care provider. The toddler seems to thrive on wrecking havoc wherever she goes. Pastor Kent Chapman's heart is still raw from losing his wife. He knows he spoils his daughter, but he can't help but see his wife in her. Then during a computer repair mix-up, Kent finds himself distracted by Shauna. But when Shauna's and Kent's worlds collide over the rebellious toddler's behavior, both must learn to accept responsibility and work toward reconciliation. Will the Lord cause Kent to choose between his daughter and his heart? Or will love sweeten Charity and their future?

this book was interesting and kept to the morals of a Christian book but it had a predictable end.

I absolutely loved this book! Every part of it made me happy! It has prepared me for what it would be like to have kids someday. Then also, it even prepared me for working with children someday as a family childcare provider. You won't be disappointed when you read this. I only wish there was an audio version.

What can I say? The little girl really needed some love and attention. I believe
that God does have a purpose for our lives.
Shauna just had to believe that she could
take the two years old class and love all
those little children. The way that Shauna
and Kent meet was great. I really enjoyed
this book.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Especially the creative way it brought the the main characters together and how at times we tend to look at a person's behavior and not see the real need that individual has in particular Charity. Even though this was fiction the portrayal of some parents plight in the area of disciplining their children and how at times it is overlooked was very realistic. I also enjoyed the way the author highlighted the need for the main characters to know what the will of God was for their lives and how they should proceed. I highly recommend this book!!!!!
