Are some wounds too deep for love to heal?When nurse Lainie Sullivan’s beloved father dies, she vows to fulfil his retirement ambition to visit all the mainland US states on his vintage motorcycle, raising funds for cancer care. But an overnight stop in Sweetapple Falls, Oregon, home town of the wounded warrior she unwillingly fell in love with, could stretch till after Christmas as she waits for … after Christmas as she waits for repairs on her motorcycle.
The warm welcome and uncomplicated faith of the townsfolk make this place feel like home, healing her faith — and her heart. As does working on her bike with Adam Davis, the Army medic she nursed in the military hospital. But for Adam, a war still rages, as he battles survivor guilt, anger with God, and adapting to the life-long effects of his injuries. His worst scars aren’t the ones on his body but the ones on his heart and soul.
Will Lainie’s love and faith be enough to help him heal, when soon she’ll be moving on? And can Lainie allow God to heal her own wounds?

His Healing Touch.
Such a touching story with realistic situations. Such a wonderful message and lovable characters. I really loved Pastor Dan’s explanation about being at a bar. This book was really hard to put down. Another amazing book by Autumn Macarthur.
“Terrible things can and do happen in this world, and often it takes time to see the good God always brings from them.”
This was written from the author, Autumn Macarthur, to us the reader.
So true!
This story brings two peoples lives together in a sweet drama showing how God can bless even when there seems to be no hope.
I ached with Adam who suffered the loss of part of his leg, and I ached with Lainie who lost her mom and dad to cancer. These are all things which many people deal with. Things which can devastate you or make you stronger. In this story, we see how struggles are real and sometimes what we think is best might not be. It shows us that even when real life smacks you in the face, you can still believe if you choose to.
I appreciate how the author brings the hope of God into this story. It’s His healing touch which has the power to change lives and give hope.
I highly recommend you pick this book up! It will touch your soul.
I received this book from the author for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
I absolutely loved this book! Great main characters, realistic struggles, deep emotions, and God first and foremost! This is one of my favorite books by Autumn Macarthur.
Adam is wounded more than physically after his las deployment. Lainie, a nurse, took care of Adam for some time while his was at the hospital When she start a journey with her motorcycle to fulfill her father’s dreams, she meets Adam again. Can faith and God’s love heal Adam and Lainie’s souls and make them happy?
This is an overtly Christian story.
Both main characters have trauma they are dealing with.
Adam’s is more complicated, but also is documented and visible. He was injured in by an IED, lost part of his leg, some hearing, and has balance issues. He also lost his faith and hope.
Lainie’s trauma is psychological, some brought on by years of training and some by hurtful words said by her ex-fiancé. She now holding on to the promise she made to her dad instead of to faith.
But they knew each other when they were both still hopeful and optimistic. Can meeting again revive their old selves?
When Lainie decides to fulfill the pledge she made to her dad her life changes. Arriving in Sweetapple Falls she is shocked to see Adam living there. Lainie and Adams story will have you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next. You will feel God working throughout this wonderful inspirational book. I had the honor to review this book for the author for a honest review. I would give this book a higher rating than a five star review if I could.
