HIS ROAD TO REDEMPTION

by Lisa Jordan

Love Inspired

A veteran in need of a fresh start will get more than he bargained for…Veteran Micah Holland's scars go deeper than anyone knows. An inheritance from his mentor could be a new beginning—if he shares the inherited goat farm with fiercely independent Paige Watson. Now the only way they can keep the farm is to work together. But first Micah must prove he's a changed man to keep his dream and the woman he's falling for.

Momma Says: 4 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐

Okay, how has Lisa Jordan escaped my attention before now? His Road To Redemption has so much heart, and I absolutely loved this couple - even before they were a couple. Micah and Paige are so easy to root for, and I loved their banter. It made for some well-timed laughs in an otherwise emotional story, laughs that kept things from getting too heavy at times. The story is a quick read, which is a good thing because I read it one sitting. I wanted to see how things would play out between Micah and Paige. Things do get emotional, and I shed a few tears along the way, but it's a lovely story of love and faith. As I understand it, Micah isn't the first Holland brother to get a book, so I'll be adding the others to my TBR list, and I'll be watching for whatever this author does next.

“You’re an inspiration, Micah.” She stared at him, as if the intensity of her gaze could convince him.

“No, not even close. I’m just a guy who was stuck in the mud and was handed a shovel to dig his way out. Someone reached out and gave me a hand up. I want to do the same for others. Because of Phil and Ian, I had the break I needed to change. That’s why it’s important to stay on track with meeting our goals. A Hand Up isn’t a handout, but a second chance. Everyone deserves that. Now I can be the one to hand out a shovel.”

“But your compassion helps change lives. That’s evident by what you’re doing here.” She shrugged. “Who knows? Maybe God allowed you to go through everything you did so you’d be in a place to help someone else. Maybe you had to become homeless to understand their pain and give them the security they needed.”

Micah laughed, the tone a bit raw and ragged.

“Seems ironic that I had to lose an arm to give a hand up to others.”

“I’m sorry for everything you’ve gone through.” Paige reached for Micah’s hand and gave it a squeeze. “God has a purpose for you. For this house. And for the men who will be living here.” She tapped his chest. “And it started here. If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t have come home for Ian’s funeral. You wouldn’t be going through all this to get the transitional home set up. You wouldn’t be talking to men like Jerome, encouraging them to take the next step.”

And she wouldn’t need to guard her heart to keep from falling for Micah. Because he was right—they needed to stay on track to meet their goals. And she couldn’t lose sight of that, either, by doing something silly like falling for a man who had a hard time recognizing love in his own family.
