Second Start Family

Hearts can heal … with a little help Life’s challenging enough for widower Hall Quick right now. He’s sure not thinking about love. He has four children -- moody teenager Dan, meddling Molly and Lizzie, and into-everything toddler Bobby – all of them still reeling from their mother’s unexpected death. A ranch that needs more hours than he has to give. A household that passed wrack and ruin a while back. All he wants from the new schoolteacher is a passable report on his kids so he doesn’t have another problem to deal with. At least that what he thinks he wants from Kenzie Smith. The Wyoming Marriage Association has other ideas. A little nudge here, a little accidental meeting there and who knows what can happen . . . maybe even a family.

Civilian life is a strain for war hero Tom Garrison, but he's an expert at emergencies. And he puts his training to good use helping his lovely neighbor, single mom Jenna Atkins, and her sick son, Brian. Tom thinks he can rescue the family and walk away, but he's in for a big surprise. Despite his efforts, Jenna and Brian capture his heart—just as he captures theirs. Both Jenna and Tom have reason to be wary of letting anyone close. Can they overcome the past to give this family a fresh start at love?

Starting a family is a soul-shaping, world-altering experience. Unfortunately, in a culture of competing values and protracted timelines, couples are increasingly backing their way into parenting or missing it altogether. By the time the average couple tries to have kids, they are often beyond their late twenties and surprised to learn they are sliding past the peak of their fertile years. In Start Your Family, Steve and Candice Watters encourage couples to be intentional about their timeline in the early years of marriage and to trust God to help them boldly launch their families. Responding to the most common doubts and hurdles, they offer biblical inspiration for the questions: Why have kids? When is the best time to start? How can we fit kids into our lives?
