Marceline Murphy has
had a crush on her best friend Julie’s brother Sam since she was 8 years old.
But Sam and his best friend Patrick O’Connor are known to be rogue’s when it
comes to women and alcohol. No heart is safe when they are around.
Marceline is an only child that has always wanted a large
family. She has envied her best friend’s large family for years. When both
Patrick and Sam set their hearts on Marcy she is determined to not be their
next conquest.
Marcy is the first girl that has ever made Patrick and Sam
want to change for the better. Both determined to win her heart, they join in
helping Marcy with the fundraising play for the parish. At first they join only
to gain Marcy’s interest, but one heart is changed forever. Will Marcy choose
Sam whom she has had a schoolgirl crush on for years or his best friend Patrick
whom she continually under estimates?
A Light in the Window is the prequel to the O’Connor family
story. If you have read any of The Daughters of Boston series or The Winds of
Change then you know how A Light in the Window turns out. But as with all of
Julie Lessman’s books it is not without its twists and turns to get to the
final outcome. A Light in the Window has become my favorite of the O’Connor
stories! Even though this story is “lighter” than the other books in the series
I found that there is still enough passion and angst to keep me on the edge of
my seat! One of the things that I definitely love about the whole series is the
faith interwoven through the characters lives. Each book shows how surrender to
the Savior can change the most hardened heart.
Julie Lessman is having a contest on her blog. Check it out:
