Instant Family

A divorced single mom bonds with her handsome neighbor at a Saskatchewan lakeside resort in this inspirational second chance romance.

“Gartshore’s Love Inspired debut brings to light some of the realities of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's, and some scenes are truly heartbreaking. The scenes between Rae and Al are wonderfully crafted, showing that age is just a number. While Frankie is a strong, independent heroine, her daughter Rae is easily the star of this book. Relationships unfold at a realistic pace, and secondary characters are well integrated. They demonstrate how God can work in any situation.” —RT Book Reviews
