A time to forgive - Darlene Gardner

Every moment counts.

When Connor Smith has to unexpectedly care for his nine-year-old niece, he isn' t prepared. In fact, he' s overwhelmed. Blending their lives poses one problem after another until Jaye' s violin teacher throws them a lifeline.

Abby Reed not only knows how to get through to his niece, she also makes an impression on him. Soon their time together means everything to Connor-and the tragedy his family faced a decade ago begins to have less power over him. Then he discovers Abby' s family' s connection to his own.

Can their love survive Connor' s bitterness and Abby' s insistence that her brother isn' t the awful person he' s been branded?
