The heart of joy
(Large Print)

"Joy Michaels, grieving mother and widow, resides in an aging but remarkable Denver home: a beautiful, three-story Victorian/Queen Anne mansion resplendent with towers, turrets, peaks, and gables and known locally as Palmer House. Palmer House--a most extraordinary refuge for young women rescued from prostitution. Joy and her mother, Rose Thoresen, share the responsibilities of ministering to and mentoring the young women who live under Palmer House's roof. But now Joy faces an agonizing decision: Should she remain true to the memory of her first love or open her heart to the possibility of new love? "I will always love you, Grant," Joy whispered, "but God has called you away, and now I must follow the path he has laid before me--even if it is not what either of us would have chosen, had we been given such a choice." --Back cover.
