Kat and her exuberant family live in the part of Flintridge known as the Hill; Slater is from the Ridge. Slater is the president of Flintridge Motors; Kat's family works for his rival.

Still, the course of love is far from smooth. Slater's exciting new project is being sabotaged. From within or without? He needs to know, and so does Kat. Then there's the strange behavior of Kat's father and Slater's dad, who have unexpectedly become allies. And what about Kat's brothers, who are determined not to welcome Slater to the family? Sabotage and secrets, old rivalries and new hopes. Can two people in love create one town…and one family?

I was born in Rhodesia in 1946 and had the privilege of living in the country in the best of times. I was in boarding school where Church was compulsory, but we were never lead to be Born Again, that was an opportunity missed by the Church. But we did have daily prayers and scripture reading, which we now see was a life saver. It was only when I was 50 years old that I came to know Jesus Christ as my savior, then the Holy Spirit lead me to get into the word of God, study it and meditate on it and believe it. I have been healed from life threatening conditions, I have been protected supernaturally, from terrorist attacks, vehicle accidents, snakes and God only knows what else. I know this stuff works, that is why I have written this book, to help the new believer quickly get on the road to faith. I encourage all readers to keep this book handy and use it to grow, then pass it on to your converts. Read the books of people who have gone before us in faith, watch Christian TV and of course make your Bible your constant companion and source of wisdom . I love and pray for you .
