Grace has been sponsored to come to America from Ireland. Now torn from her mother, the only real family she has, she has to learn who to trust in her new home. Her past has given her a hatred for the police, and she struggles to feel competent in her skills. She becomes interested in photography and when she practices in the park, she attracts the attention of some criminals.
Owen came from the rich part of town. When he witnessed a tragic death involving a police officer, he feels that God is calling him to help those in the immigrant neighborhood. He has a rough time trying to gain the trust of the citizens, but he also has to tread around the corruption in the police department. He's torn between being where God wants him and helping his father. He's on the trail of the leader of a gang and that causes him to cross paths with Grace.
This was a good book and I read it in two days. Both characters have their own side issues to deal with and their interactions are more Grace learning to trust Owen than begin a relationship. It had minimal romance elements in it, but their stories come together in a more believable way considering their circumstances.
The next book in this series is called Annie's Stories. It came out in June 2014 and I've placed it on my watch list. Annie shows up a little bit in this book, so I think it'll be okay to read these out of order. After doing a bit of research, I found out that the third book will be called Sofia's Tune. I'm not sure when it comes out, but I'll be on the lookout for it! Good Book!
