My Foolish Heart
by Susan May Warren is the 4th book in the Deep Haven series. Even if you haven?t read the other books in the series, it can stand on its own.
?
Isadora Presley suffered from a debilitating disorder brought about by the tragic accident involving her parents and herself. After watching her mother die in her arms, and seeing her strong father confined to his hospital bed, Isadora now suffers from an anxiety disorder that prevents her from leaving the safety of her home. Unknown to her friends and neighbors, Isadora Presley broadcasts from her home as Miss Foolish Heart, a syndicated radio show where Isadora gives her listeners advice on love and romance. Little do they know that the one giving advice has almost no experience on that department and that most of her advice come from the books that she has read.
?
Caleb, a soldier who lost his leg during his tour of duty, now comes to Deep Haven to become the new high school football coach. He is determined to become a part of this beautiful town ? Deep Haven.
?
Seb, a former resident of Deep Haven, comes home with a goal of righting the wrongs in his life. He thinks he can do this by becoming the coach of his former high school football team.
?
Lucy, Isadora?s bestfriend and lifeline to the outside world, has problems of her own. As she tries to save her donut shop, Seb has come back to her to be her source of help.
?
Can these four people overcome their painful pasts and find their way to their present through their faith in God?

MY THOUGHTS
?
This is the first book I?ve read by Susan May Warren, but this is certainly not the last. As a contemporary romance writer, she is a fantastic storyteller. She creates such interesting characters and develops them very well. So much that you really understand each of the characters and each one has become a real person to me. Her descriptions of the town of Deep Haven makes me feel as if I?m really there and participating in its life. It?s beautiful how she has molded the lives of each person and show how their faith in God is carrying them through.?
The book?s message is beautiful ? that God can carry us through our problems, our self-doubts and that His grace is sufficient to cover our sins of the past.
