The Family Way

Rating:
Summary: A poignant tale
Review: Six months pregnant, widow Wendy Sloan informs her son, twelve-year-old Ben, that she plans to sell the family's failing Nevada Moon Lake Resort. The place needs repairs that her beloved spouse used to perform before he died five months ago and there is no income to hire anyone. She also tells Ben that they, along with his younger sister will move to Sacramento to be closer to her family. A desperate Ben, who does not want to move, uses a class project to send an advertisement for a handyman over the Internet. Ben receives an "A" in school, many hits, but no takers.

Special FBI Agent Josh Walker recovers from a gunshot wound to his leg in which his partner died. His boss sends him to the Sloan's Tahoe resort to recuperate as a handyman as advertised over the Net. Josh obtains the job and finds he is falling in love with the 3.67 Sloans. Wendy and her children return Josh's feelings. However, Josh is marked by a drug cartel for death and knows his life with Wendy and her two kids is built on a lie.

Award winning author Rebecca Winters brightens up romance readers with her touching tales. Her latest story, THE FAMILY WAY, will delight fans with its passionate look at four individuals struggling with life after death. The heroic Josh will do anything to make life easier for his beloved. His love for her children including the unborn shows how caring a person he is. Wendy provides poignancy rarely seen in novels as she raises her two precocious children in the aftermath of her husband's death and her pregnancy. Ms. Winters remains an author for all seasons.
