Publisher's Synopsis
Carson and Katharine O Connor seem on the surface to be perfect people good-looking, successful, and God-fearing, but no one could accuse them of being too perfect to be believable. Katharine spends her life building a home and family until the day Carson leaves her and allows a voluptuous, cunning school counselor, Cindy Lomax, and her disturbed pre-teen daughter, Deanna, to move in with him on a platonic basis or so he thinks. Katharine must find her way beyond the past and will stop at nothing to rebuild her marriage, including breast and buttock implants in order to compete with Cindy s striking figure in winning her husband back. When tragedy strikes, Carson realizes it was pure love that guided him to Katharine. Is it too late for Carson to rectify his mistake with her? Will Cindy s vengeful tactics prevail? Will Deanna s criminal intention manifest itself? Will Katharine find the strength to forgive, despite the fiery darts that have been thrown at her? Desires of the Heart is a story of lost and found faith, learning to love yourself, how one man s selfish decisions affect and endanger those around him, and a glimpse into how man looks at outward appearance but God looks at the heart. Clean, well written and refreshing novel. You ll think twice about cosmetic surgery after reading this story by a gifted author. ----Southern Press Carson s depression, Katharine s insecurities, Cindy s mental illness (which is the root of her promiscuity), and Deanna s loneliness and craving for a father make Desires of the Heart an engaging, eye-opening, honest-to-God good read. ----The Amen Chronicle A.
