Читать книгу A Nanny for the Cowboy - Roxann Delaney - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

Being a parent is one of the most difficult jobs a person can undertake. Parenting requires on-the-job training as a caregiver, doctor, teacher, spiritual adviser, friend and mortal enemy (according to an angry child). The nights are late and the mornings are early. A good day can turn bad in an instant. A bad day can turn good with a hug or a simple smile. There are tears and giggles, joy and heartache. Parenting is often made easier with two parents, but that isn’t always the way life happens.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are approximately 13.6 million single parents in the United States, responsible for raising 21.2 million children or roughly 26% of children under 21. Those numbers don’t include only single moms. Single-father homes have grown almost 60% in the past ten years.

Child care for children of single-parent families can be difficult to find, but Luke Walker’s sister has sent him a young woman to be the nanny for his small son. One look at the woman has him convinced that she’s not the person for them. But like parenting, love can happen with a hug or a simple smile.

Welcome back to Desperation, Oklahoma, where hearts meet at the most unexpected times.

Best wishes and happy reading!

Roxann
