Alex is a recent widower with three children. Sophie, a recent immigrant from Chechoslovakia, comes as a housekeeper to keep up with the house and help with the children. Sophie's different way of looking at things ministers to all of them until they come to see her has a gift from God, sent to them in their grief.

And then Alex finally notices that Sophie, the quiet and wise housekeeper, is also a beautiful woman. And he begins to realize that she has found a place, both in the family and in his heart.

This is one of those rare novels where a character lives her Christianity in a way that inspires me. Sophie is anything but preachy, and you just can't help loving her. It's just a beautiful story of a woman falling in love with both a man and his children, and a man working through his grief and finding love again.
