This is one of the books that has been on my "to be read" pile for quite a while. I certainly wasn't putting it off because I don't like Suzie's books, because I do, very much. And I enjoyed Finding Stefanie, too.
Suzie Warren puts together a tight novel, tying in internal and external conflicts, setting, and spiritual theme. Stefanie Noble, younger sister of two brothers (heroes of previous books) put her life on hold to care for her father and the family ranch. Now that her older brother is back, she's beginning to dream about the plans she'd once had for her life.
Adventure acting star, Lincoln Cash has his own secrets and concerns. When he'd met Stefanie briefly the year before, he'd thought they had a connection. When he moves in as her neighbor with big plans to remodel and put their ranch town onto the map as the next Hollywood hot spot, he's surprised to find her resistant. (He's not really an idiot.)
Add in some homeless kids, a psycho stalker, Multiple Sclerosis, and child abuse, and Finding Stefanie becomes an engaging, emotional read.
