Julia is a young single mother juggling a job, school, a long distance relationship with the man she hopes to marry, and raising her son and younger brother with her grandmother’s aid. When her son’s birth father contacts her after five years, she agrees to allow him to meet their child. With that decision, Julia’s world is turned upside down and nothing will ever be the same. Will all Julia’s carefully laid plans be realized? Can she ever forgive Parker for his desertion at her time of need? Is there a chance that Julia and Simon can get over their mother’s abandonment? What is a real family anyway? These are just a few questions that are answered in Beneath the Night Tree<\/strong><\/em>. I hesitate to elaborate any further because it is a story that just must<\/strong><\/em> be read.<\/p>\n Like\u00a0 many other reviewers, I was surprised to learn that Beneath the Night Tree<\/strong><\/em> is part of a series because it stands alone so well. The book is extremely well written and drew me in immediately. I enjoyed it so much that I quickly obtained copies of the first two books in the series. This is one book that I definitely recommend.<\/p>\n This book was provided for review by Tyndale House Publishers.<\/em><\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/divider21.jpg\" "\\"divider2\\"")

<\/a>Do I have a child?<\/em> Julia DeSmit knew she would face the question eventually, but she didn\u2019t expect it now. At twenty-four, she is finally content with the way her life has unfolded. A single mother to her son and young brother, she works at the local grocery store while chipping away at a two-year degree. All her free time is spent with her unorthodox family\u2014her boys, her grandmother, and her boyfriend of five years. It\u2019s not perfect, but Julia is happier than ever.<\/p>\n
