Synopsis

His fiancée was the one woman he’d loved.Her children are all he has left.Reserved contractor Wade Sullivan never expected to fall in love with Starr Parnell or to love her three small kids as if they were his own. But that’s exactly what happened. As their wedding draws near, however, tragedy strikes—and Wade must put aside his own grief in order to help Starr’s children cope.As Wade focuses his efforts on caring for the children, he discovers that their tender, young lives give tremendous meaning to his own broken one. Then Starr’s abusive ex-husband shows up to claim the offspring who barely remember him—and Wade prepares for the fight of his life.Will anyone believe his claim to love the children more than their father loves them?A powerful novel of loss and discovery, courage, and grace, A Nest of Sparrows masterfully illustrates one man’s struggle to know when to fight, when to let go, and when to simply wait.
