Description
Lauren Phelps has never learned to love in the right place.
When a long term engagement turns into a dead end, Lauren decides on a fresh start a hundred miles away. She arrives determined to make room in her heart for her childhood friend Blake, a young pastor newly installed in a distant suburb of Boston.
He should be the ideal match for a Christian woman ready to start on married life, but Lauren’s reverence for the beautiful world around her goes unappreciated by him, and she’s wondering if she will ever be understood. Waiting for a pragmatic romance to take shape isn’t enough to fill all her lonely hours, so she agrees to a side job looking after the flower garden at Mrs. Tripp’s vacation house…
When Benjamin Tripp comes to spend the summer at his mother’s beach house, he brings his wine and his paintings, and intends to leave everything else behind. But his half-acknowledged longing for a meaningful relationship refuses to be forgotten. The freedom of one night stands has proved less satisfying than he thought it would be, and he can’t stop searching for something he doesn’t know how to find…
A chance conversation about modern art sparks a friendship that leaves Lauren unsettled. How can Benjamin understand so many things that she holds true, and yet reject the faith that sustains her? And what will she do when he challenges her to choose between her God and her heart?
Love Divine is an exploration of the Christian faith, a meditation on the dynamics of relationships, and a closer look at what makes us stop and wonder at the world round us.
This is a brief novel of about 56,000 words, (around 200 pages.)
The Belvedere Series contains stand alone Romance stories that explore the connections of faith, love and life in the fictional New England town of Belvedere. They can be read in any order.
