About this audiobook

For years now, Christmas has been the only merry part of Mary’s life, but that’s all about to change…

When Mary’s mom walked out on them, her dad started drinking and never stopped. The one bright spot in her miserable childhood was a charity called Sub-for-Santa. It restored her faith in magic and brought hope and love into their home. She’s run the program as an adult for nearly a decade to bring the same joy to children all over Atlanta.

When the same man’s name pops up both the donor and the recipient list, she’s a little frustrated. How can she figure out where he belongs without hurting his feelings? After making the trek out to his address, she’s prepared to mark down ‘recipient.’ It is a trailer park, after all.

But when he answers the door, it’s the ridiculously handsome, polished man she met last week. He’s also the first man she’s agreed to go on a date with in more than a year. He definitely doesn’t need anyone to bring his children Christmas gifts—he travels for work, hence the trailer. But Mary made a vow to herself long ago that she would never have children. She didn’t want to risk being like her parents.

She knows she needs to walk away—he has two beautiful children, after all. But Luke doesn’t make it easy. Can Mary find enough faith in herself to do something she never thought possible?

"Despite the complexities [of] this tale, Finding Faith reads like the honeymoon stage of a relationship. It's filled with laughter, an idealized reality, and an endless craving for the story to continue. Luke's and Mary's love offers a temporary euphoria that shows romance is sometimes found where it is least expected." —Publisher's Weekly

USA Today Bestselling author, Elana Johnson said, "Finding Faith is a heartwarming and brilliant story about love, loss, and learning what you really want."

NYT Bestselling Author, Victorine E. Lieske said, "A fun romance! I highly enjoyed it. Bridget knows how to tug at your heartstrings. A fantastic read!"

Finding strength and faith in yourself is a live story all its own - but adding a sweet romance is double the fun. Five stars: a wonderful Christmas read that I nonetheless enjoyed in May. At first glance, I thought this book was Christian fiction. That's not a genre I prefer, so I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that the title refers to the MC finding faith in herself, essentially. However, this wasn't the sappy romance novel I was expecting, either. It was more women's fiction slash romance, I'd say. It had substance and depth, three-dimensional characters, and realistic issues, but also a nice romantic arc. I listened to the audio narrated by Jennifer Jill Araya. The performance was wonderful. Her characterization was subtle but excellent, and she maintained consistency and authenticity. I loved her portrayal of Luke, especially. I enjoyed getting to know Mary, insecurities, strengths, and all. Luke was a pure treat, from his dreamy accent, great sense of humor, and good looks to his beautiful heart, flexible attitude, and inner end outer strength. My husband is an electrician, so it was fun reading terms that were familiar to me and ftr those aspects were spot-on, which I appreciated. I got annoyed at some of the supporting characters, especially Trudy and Addie. However, I think that's because they were portrayed so realistically - no flat, stock, trope-filled characters but an actual little sister and bestie with all the good and bad that can contain. Technically speaking, since I listened to the audio it's harder to say than if I'd read the ebook, but it seemed flawlessly written and edited. I heard no issues whatsoever in that regard. The book was a really good read overall, but I did feel the slightest bit rushed at the end, and wished there was more of a wrap, an epilogue, something! There's a lot of build up and then an awfully fast conclusion. That's common with Christmas-set books, but it always annoys me. Give me the New Year's update! However, since it IS book one of a series, perhaps we get some better closure as things progress in book two. I'm looking forward to Trudy's story, and kinda hoping Paisley gets one as well. I would highly recommend this story, and not just for a holiday read.

I must say this is the one of the best books I have heard in ages and rarely rate 5. Story has perfect blend of humour, romance, sentiment, sorrow, friendship and above all love. Thoroughly enjoyed it, thankyou Author. Awesome narration was icying on the cake. Made the reading even more awesome.

It's hard to find CLEAN romance that doesn't feel cliche and also has robust, developed characters. This book (and the entire series, really) totally delivered! You will fall in love with the characters and the writing style!
