Lost and Found Faith

By Laurel Blount

Maggie Byrne just wants to give Oliver what she was given - a second chance at a loving family. But Oliver has a difficult time forming an attachment to anyone. At least he did until he was found wandering by Neil Hamilton. For some reason, Oliver formed an attachment with Neil, nicknamed Iceman by his students. Can a detached hurting man be the influence needed by a toddler suffering from abandonment issues?  Could this be the chance he's been given to find the man that he used to be? 

Oliver is the child Maggie wants to give a home to. But he just hasn't connected with her the way she had hoped he would. She needs Neil Hamilton's help to bond with Oliver or she could lose this precious child who has stolen her heart. As a child of the foster system, she wants to save Oliver from the uncertainty she faced until she found a home with Ruby.

Can two people scarred by their pasts come together to heal a hurting child? 

Lost and Found Faith is a lovely story and it is the first book in a new series that will follow the foster siblings of Maggie if the note from the author is any indication. I really like how Maggie and Neil's stories are slowly revealed as the story unfolds. I think the biggest issue that they both had was communicating. But communicating was revealing a deeper part of themselves - becoming vulnerable, and honestly, most people don't want to put themselves in that position. To find what was lost will take bravery and trust if they are willing to take the risk.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectation but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.
