Then there are dreams derailed by fear.In her book Summer Dreams, author Joan Deppa introduces us to April Phillips, a sixth-grade teacher who loves children.

And they include marrying April and having a family of their own. But first he needs to help her realize that God can break her chains of fear and give her a love that paddles through the storms and difficulties of life and thrives. Whose dreams will be realized? Can they both win? Summer Dreams, the second book in Joans Seasons of Love series, is a fun, well-paced story.
