Now that her sister is married, her brother established in a job, and her father re-married, Debbie is faced with leaving the cozy nest in which she had been hiding from issues in her past and creating a place for herself in the world.

Devout Christian Debbie Jensen wants nothing more from life than to become a wife and mother. When her father remarries, she realizes she has to look for a job for the first time in her life. While visiting her cousin, a well-known and successful writer, Debbie meets theologian Gregory Masefield. Debbie finds herself falling in love with both Gregory and his young daughter. Seemingly, Gregory should be the answer to Debbie's dreams, but their romance doesn't run smoothly, since both feel guilt over the death of loved ones. Although the subplot involving Gregory's wife doesn't work as well as the romantic elements of the story, Crow (Encounter the Light, Crossway, 1997) still provides a charming look at a religious woman's attempts to discover who she is and what she wants. Worth purchasing, especially in collections with a demand for romances.
