Third Strand of the Cord

by Catherine Richmond 

4.8 out of 5 stars

An amazingly refreshing, original novel unlike anything I've read. Hilariously entertaining and really sucks you in by giving you the characters thoughts in a way that most Christian authors don't but that in real life, we have even when we shouldn't. We see the struggle to rely on God and how he overcomes all and how God uses other people to shine His light when there is darkness and confusion.

Caroline, a Ford Motors Engineer and single mother, has a difficult, energetic, 7 year old son with Down Syndrome who had left her husband when he attempted to strangle her 2 months after the baby's birth due to his handicap. Mr. Lee is a homeless karate instructor who works with homeless shelters, disabled kids and others and feels that you need to parent with a firm hand, even though he has no children of his own. When the father runs for office, he tries to make Caroline look like a kidnapper and receive custody over the son he never wanted. Will Caroline join forces with Lee before she loses her son and possibly her life or will she shelter herself from further heartbreak?
