Becoming a guardian won’t be his only challenge this summer… Organizing his hometown’s Fourth of July celebration was not part of combat veteran Emilio Mancini’s plan for the summer. But as he and his nieces settle into the family guesthouse of his childhood friend Kitty MacIntyre, he can’t turn down her request. As the single mom helps him figure out how to be a parent to the girls, Kitty’s unaware that the fireworks display she has her heart set on could trigger Emilio’s PTSD. But as their connection deepens and the event draws near, Kitty discovers the truth. Together, they must create a new kind of celebration for the town—one that just might spark something brighter than fireworks… From Love Inspired: Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope.
