Warrior's Heart

Warrior's Heart by Donna Fleisher is about a young woman named Chris McIntyre who is trying to find her place within herself and in the world. The closer she comes to finding herself, the harder it is for her to endure the storm within her. The intensity of emotion builds with every step, as Chris continues the journey of drawing closer to her Creator. The people of her new home town, Kimberly Square, seek to befriend and understand her unique fearlessness and determination. These characteristics not only cultivate her own faith, but plant a seed in the heart of a past enemy. As Chris McIntyre attempts to love the people of her town and love her God, many twists and turns come her way. Her best friend's husband, Scott Mathis, mistrusts her around his wife, Erin, due to Chris' intense personality. They are soon forced to work together when a violent storm hits the town. Chris, an ex-soldier, is fearless and determined to get the job done, whether she enjoys it or not, but deep within her soul she struggles to live a life she has never before experienced. These qualities appeal to the hearts of the townspeople. Although much growth takes place in Chris's life, her story is still unfinished. In the Homeland Heroes series, she continues in her Christian walk in the next installment, Valiant Hope. I recommend this wonderful series for young adult women from 18 to 25 years of age who desire to find and mature their inner strength. -- Angela Wood, Christian Book Previews.com
