About this ebook

His latest project has a two-year-old surprise

The house he wants to restore

The family he wants to build

Fatherhood wasn’t what Bradley Ainsworth expected to find at Henny House. The run-down Victorian is his best shot at proving himself as a historic renovator, but the new owner has no interest in recreating the past. Claire Woodbury and her foster daughter, Emily, are focused on the future—until everyone learns that Emily is Bradley’s daughter. Does that future have room for him as a father…and more?

From Love Inspired: Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope.

Ratings and reviews

In A Promise for His Daughter, the author continues to provide refreshing, encouraging, and wholesome content to read. Claire Woodbury is ready to begin a new chapter in her life with a child not her own, but who she considers as good as her own. However, when she learns who the real father is, she's mature enough to be willing to step aside for the sake of the child. Bradley Ainsworth has moved back to Georgia to prove himself and move on from a painful past. But, when the past shows up in town in the form of a daughter, he is forced to face the reality of fatherhood. As Claire and Bradley navigate the ongoing care of Emily, they realize they are falling in love with each other. However, can they let go of the past to be able to see a future? Will they allow other people to interfere? I also love how the restoration of the house is used as a metaphor to their personal lives. As Bradley and Claire debate over restoring vs renewing the house, it's much like their lives - some things get renovated and restored, while other aspects move forward with the new. I applaud the author for tackling tough subjects such as foster care, parent / child relationships, and divorce. Each were handled delicately and with sensitivity. All language and scenes are clean with only mild kissing. My rating - 5 stars
