This one just may be my favorite one yet.<\/p>\n<p>After a devastating accident that took her mother\u2019s life, Isadora  Presley suffers such severe panic attacks that she rarely leaves her  home due to her fear of a meltdown. She secretly hosts a radio show from  her home giving romantic tips to her callers. For some reason a new  caller, Boy Next Door, touches her heart and she finds herself  fantasizing about him often. At the same time she is very attracted to  her new next door neighbor Caleb Knight who apparently has a few  problems of his own.<\/p>\n<p>Caleb has moved to Deep Haven hoping to coach the high school  football team and prove to himself that he can live a full life despite  the severe injuries he suffered in Iraq. Hiding his greatest disability,  Caleb bravely enters the competition for the coaching position.  Accidentally overhearing one of Issy\u2019s broadcasts, he  uncharacteristically calls for advice. From that point on he is hooked  and can\u2019t resist the attraction of the sympathetic hostess to whom he  pours out all his secrets, not knowing that she and Issy are the same  person. Through his deep faith, Caleb is able to reach out to Issy and  help her find her way back to a life of freedom. And in the process, he  finds hope and healing for himself.<\/p>\n<p>I thought the plot of <em><strong>My Foolish Heart <\/strong><\/em>was  quite clever and enjoyed reading about both the on air and real life  relationships between Issy and Caleb. The inclusion of the dog  \u201cDuncan\/Roger\u201d and his escapades added whimsical entertainment and the  inclusion of Issy\u2019s best friend Lucy and returning football hero Seb is a  special bonus. An inviting small town setting, down-to-earth  characters, and a warm and witty narrative make <em><strong>My Foolish Heart<\/strong><\/em> a joy to read. I would recommend this book without any reservation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/divider21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"399\" height=\"52\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>This book was provided for review by LitFuse Publicity.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/MyFoolishHeart.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7486\" style=\"margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;\" title=\"My Foolish Heart\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/MyFoolishHeart.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"206\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/MyFoolishHeart.jpg 206w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/MyFoolishHeart-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/MyFoolishHeart-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px\" \/><\/a>Unknown to her tiny town of Deep Haven, Isadora Presley spends her nights as Miss Foolish Heart, the star host of a syndicated talk radio show.
