Together Forever by Jody Hedlund

She's signed up to escort immigrant children and abused children to, hopefully, a better life in further west.  It's not easy because they are easy for her to love and not want to give away at the end but it's a good cause.

Bethany House sent me a copy to read for review (thank you).  It has been published so you can purchase a copy now.

Her fellow guardian is a good looking male with a past.  She has one too...

You learn about how rough life is for the young ones, the difficulties of placing them well and the pain of letting them go.  Along the way, you learn about love and duty.  What's more important?  Fulfilling duty and obligations or finding love?  As each tries to do the right thing, the more things get messed up.  

It's a good thing God is along to lend a hand...
