About the Book Meant for Her

Had it all truly been ~ MEANT FOR HER?

Kidnapped, raped, brutally beaten, and left for dead, Candi Reynolds becomes a prisoner of fear. Faced also with the impact of the unexpected break-up with her fiancé, and an unwanted pregnancy resulting from the attacks, she believes God has forsaken her. Choosing to move back to the Michigan horse farm, owned by her older brother, Dr. Cam Reynolds, Candi essentially goes into seclusion.

Dr. Patrick (Mack) MacKevon, long-time friend of Cam’s, watches from the sidelines at the farm, where his horses are stabled, while Candi struggles to regain a sense of normalcy. His own big-brother tendencies develop into a much deeper emotion over the months he prays for her.

Is it possible for Candi to put all of the pain and trauma behind her and renew her former relationship with the Lord? Will she allow her heart to open enough to discover authentic love, while making decisions of victory on her personal journey to joy?

About the Author of Meant For Her

Joy Avery Melville’s heart’s desire is to be the author God has called her to be by sharing Him with readers in such a way they long to have a deeply committed personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord.

Fully intending to write Historical Romance–had in fact– she didn’t want to deviate from that. God had different plans for that ‘call’ He’d made on her life back in 1967. A mere eighth-grader at the time, she had no clue about the topics she’d be drawn to write about.

Surrendering to the genre God placed on her heart has given Joy new insight into the hearts and lives of those who too often hurt in silence.
The settings of Joy’s books are near where she lives in Schoolcraft, Michigan with her husband of 46 years and their 1 yr old Yorkie pup, Is-A-Bella Bindi, (Is-a-beautiful little girl) who thinks she’s a much larger breed with tomboy tendencies.

Joy loves to hear from readers. She can be contacted through her website, Facebook, or by email, and she also has a presence on Twitter and Pinterest.

My Thoughts on Meant For Her:

Talk about a lot of hard subjects all at once!  I have never read any books by this author before. In fact, it looks like this is her debut novel.  It is compelling and full of hard topics but does them with such grace and compassion. 

All of us would love to have a Mack in our lives.  Strong and steady, constant and protective, he stands by you no matter what.  Add to that horses and it’s a match made in heaven!  Except Candi has a lot of issues and baggage that she needs to walk out of before she can open her eyes to the world around her. 

Fear is powerful.  And the more we give in to fear the more power it has over us.  It’s a horrible cycle that is hard to break.  But it can be done with the help of God and friends.  Can Candi go back to asking God to help her?

Definitely a book I can recommend.  I can’t say that you won’t cry or become invested in the characters though.  And I really can’t say you won’t be begging for the sequel as soon as you finish the last sentence in this book.
