Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Rennehan is a naïve nineteen-year-old, brought up on welfare, the victim of an abusive father. His teenaged wife dies in childbirth and he is left to care for his infant daughter, Delilah. Powerfully bonded to her from the first, he is hopelessly out of his depth, jobless and broke, but determined to raise her. His situation is complicated by estranged in-laws who threaten to gain custody of their granddaughter. Will learns the meaning of grace (unmerited favour) as, one after another, people step up to give support. There is Wynona, who is domineering and opinionated but never wavers in her advice and encouragement; Pearl, a retiree, who takes him under her wing; a quirky nurse named Grace Anne who is the queen of social blunders; and his former English teacher who becomes a significant benefactor, to name a few. Will faces many challenges as he embraces fatherhood and adult responsibility. Unintentionally entangled in his older brothers’ shady activities, disaster ensues, and his ability to raise his daughter is called into question. The story evolves as he struggles to rise above circumstances and prove his good character. Several astounding developments suddenly alter the course of his life, and a friendship he took for granted takes a surprising turn.
