I’m pleased to devote this post to Jill Weatherholt and her novel which I have just read.

Jill Weatherholt’s romance novel, “A Father for Bella” is something different from the usual romance. The relationship between Joshua Carlson and the little girl, Bella, is truly touching. The love story between Bella’s mother and Joshua is almost secondary.

The book has Christian content, and although I would have preferred not to have it as a part of the package, it was little enough that it didn’t bother me to read it. Others may be glad of that aspect of the writing. To each, his own.

Bella is almost six years old and already she has a personality that is so endearing that you want everything to work out the way she wants – and all she wants is a father to love her and to be there for her. When Joshua stumbles into the lives of Bella and her mother, Faith, we want things to work out for them, for Bella’s sake. But the obstacles are great. Their goals are so different.

“A Father for Bella” is a heartwarming story that is not without its twists and turns. Emotions are at play throughout the novel and these carry the reader through to the end. The relationship between Bella and Joshua is very touching, but will it be enough to become more than casual? Read it and find out.
