If you have read the O'Malley series by Dee Henderson then you must read Jennifer. It completes the story of the O'Malleys. If you have net read any in this series, I can't speak highly enough of them.
The O'Malleys are a group of 7 orphans that adopted each other, took the name of O'Malley and became a family. They would do anything for each other. If need be, they would drop everything and take a flight across the country if one of them needs help. Their bond is stronger than the average family because they have learned the hard way how important family is.
This story is the beginning of Jennifer's love story and how she comes to now Christ. It is beautiful, rich with love, respect and patience. Jennifer is a pediatric doctor who takes care of kids with cancer or other life threatening illnesses. Her love for each patient is like none Tom Peterson, a surgeon in the same hospital, has ever seen.
Tom, a devout Christian, builds a friendship with Jennifer before moving to a romantic level. He introduces her to his church, loans her his Bible patiently stands by, becoming a close friend, as she works her way through her decision about who Christ is and if she believes the Bible is true.
Friendship and love are a strong theme throughout this novel. I especially love the way Jennifer learns about Christ, searches for answers to all of her questions, and Tom helps her along when she asks. It is such a gentle way to lead someone to Christ, and perhaps a more realistic way than I have read in most novels.
I loved this book. It is not a suspense as much as Dee Henderson's other books are. But it is great none the less. I love Dee Henderson's work. She is such an inspiration. I hope you have a chance to read her work and fall in love with her stories as I have.
