From the author of the bestselling Other Way Home series ('A Journey by Chance, After Ail These Years, Just to See You Smile, and 'The Winding Road Home) and the first book in the new In a Heartbeat series ('In a Heartbeat) comes another warmly romantic book filled with love and laughter, poignant moments, and the journey toward a stronger faith. Terri Schuman risks her life to save others on a daily basis. As a Chicago paramedic, she works round-the-clock shifts that are often filled with life-and-death moments. Yet she doesn't see herself as a heroine...just a woman dedicated to a job she loves. And after Lieutenant Gabe Andrews, a firefighter from another unit, manages to catch her attention, her dedication to him becomes just as intense. But when a flash point of circumstances suddenly changes her life, Terri must come face-to-face with the fragile self-confidence she displays to the world. She's suddenly unsure about this new romance in her life. She also hasn't been a Christian very long, and now her identity lies shattered at her feet, leaving her with the opportunity--if only she will take it--of truly finding something worth building her life around. Will she come to see that life is worth more than just moments of heroism--that she is a very special woman, created by a loving Father who knows her pain and who knows how to heal; who knows how to forgive and who can teach her to do likewise? With love and empathy, author Sally John explores one of those moments--the space of a heartbeat--that can completely change the direction of a person's life.
