About the Book Why They Call It Falling

Book: Why They Call It Falling

Author: Christina Sinisi

Genre: Contemporary Christian Romance

Release date: June 7, 2022

Formerly the wild child of three sisters, Emma Marano grew up to be a single mom working two jobs, estranged from her mother, and lying to her friends. She’d told everyone that her daughter’s father wanted nothing to do with his child, but in reality, her own inability to deal with her mistakes and shame led to the biggest lie of her life. But her daughter, Haley, is all Emma has in the world, so how can she regret keeping Haley to herself?

Emma’s struggling, though, and her life is slowly imploding.

Right after high school, Justin Lee broke up with Emma Marano and joined the Army, leaving her and all her drama behind.

Years later, he stumbles upon her and what turns out to be a daughter he never knew he had.

Angry and confused, he insists on having a relationship with his daughter, but to do so, he’ll need to rebuild some sort of relationship with Emma, too. As he gets to know his daughter—and Emma again—he soon realizes that his biggest mistake was leaving her all those years ago. What he dismissed as drama is a severe mental health issue, and Emma needs help.

Now, Justin has to decide if he can see past her flaws and forgive her lies, and together, they’ll have to work to reclaim their love and faith in each other and in God, or they risk losing something precious in the process.

My Thoughts on Why They Call It Falling

As a nurse who has worked in mental health before I really enjoyed this book.  Emma was always considered flighty and full of drama.  But what if what people thought were her issues and problems actually turned out to be a mental disorder that she could get help from? 

Add in her ex-boyfriend who thought he’d done the right thing by saying goodbye to Emma and going off into Army.  Justin comes back and runs into her. . . as well as her daughter.  Surprise!  That daughter just happens to be his too.  Except, he’s never heard about her.  He wants to spend time with her and get to know her but that also means spending time with Emma again. 

As he starts to be around Emma more then he realizes that she actually suffers from a mental disorder and he sets out to get her help. 

This was a great book.  It read smoothly and kept me interested.  I highly recommend you read it as well.

More from Christina

In Why They Call It Falling, the hero discovers he has a daughter he didn’t know existed when he sees his ex-girlfriend in a strawberry patch at Boone Hall Plantation (here in Charleston, South Carolina). In the book, the name of the plantation had to be changed to protect the innocent, but the recipe below doesn’t.

This recipe comes from a cookbook titled, Charleston Receipts Repeats. This book has modern recipes, as well as old-fashioned ones dating back through generations. It’s a perfect accompaniment to my Charleston-based romance.

Strawberry Pie 

1 9-inch pie shell, baked and cooled

1 cup sugar

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1 cup water

Dash salt

1 3-ounce strawberry jello (delete 1 tablespoon)

1-pint strawberries

Whipped cream

In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, water, and salt.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick and clear.

Add strawberry jello.

Pour half of the mixture into the pie shell.

Arrange strawberries in a jello mixture.

Pour the remaining mixture over the strawberries.

Refrigerate until gelled.

Serve with whipping cream.

Serves 6 to 8. Chill for 3 to 4 hours.

Enjoy, and think of the sweet taste of summer and the enduring love of fall. Second chances are often the most delicious!
