The Tie That Binds J L Linden

In Book 1- Anything Can Happen, Abigail Winsome was always a 'good girl' who was obedient, God-fearing and church-going. She was the last person anyone expected to end up pregnant at nineteen. However, when her boyfriend of three years, Myles, refuses to take responsibility, she is forced to face the ridicule of her small town church community alone and the wrath of her pastor father. Forced to find a way to support her and her expected child, she finds work at a small cafe run by someone quite unexpected. Together they walk the path to adulthood and learn many valuable lessons about life. In Book 2- In A Father's Arms, Abigail and Will have found a place in each other's hearts, even without his father's (the town Mayor) approval. They are determined and the pair surge towards a life together, facing the struggles of their oppositions. Abigail is less than willing to pursue her feelings, as thoughts of shame and guilt leave her feeling unworthy for the upstanding man she had found, Will. Now in Book 3- The Tie That Binds, Abigail is happy in her life as a mom and enjoying life in their small town. The cafe has turned into a thriving restaurant thanks to Abigail's skills in the kitchen. Life couldn't be better. Then she is forced to face her past when Myles shows up wanting to see his daughter and have a part in her life. The skeleton in her closet, and the repressed emotions she's harbored since he left her all surface. They must come to a place of forgiveness, that will allow their daughter the chance to have her father in her life, and open the door to forgiveness, and the final part of Abigail's heart.
