When she finally surrenders her heart, will it be too late?
Susan Quinn, a social worker turned surrogate mom to foster teens, fights to save the group home she’s worked hard to build. But now, she faces a dwindling staff, foreclosure, and old heartaches that won't stay buried. Her only hope lies with the last person she’d ever turn to—a brawny handyman with a guitar, a questionable past, and a God he keeps calling Father.
Like a Love Song is a romantic drama about a fiercely loyal woman and some castaway kids who need the courage to believe in a love that never fails.
If you have a soft spot in your heart for kids who haven’t had a fair chance in life, you will find yourself wanting to jump through the pages of this book to help Susan Quinn care for this group of outcasts. Pick up your copy of Like a Love Song and experience a challenging romance in the high desert plains of Central Oregon.
“Eide writes a touching story about two unlikely heroes who sacrifice themselves to love those who are not loved by others ... This emotional book touches on very tender subjects in a tactful, graceful way that allows readers to understand what is happening without being overwhelmed by it. Eide is a phenomenal writer who once again displays her wisdom in the way she tells the story.”

“In her sophomore novel, Camille Eide has penned a beautiful tale with just the right chords of humor and tenderness. The prose of Like a Love Song is lovely, and the myriad twists and turns tugged at my heart as I was rooting for this cast of endearing characters. The splendor and raw beauty of Oregon’s high desert is the perfect backdrop for this gripping love story. It’s one you don’t want to miss.”

“When Sue, a distrustful group home director, meets Joe, a big-hearted oil rig worker, fireworks fly—but not in a good way! Mix in a handful of ragtag foster kids and nothing is certain. Author Camille Eide skillfully draws us through a story of brokenness and hurt to a place of hope—ever pointing to the true source of healing. And love. Five stars! Highly Recommended.”

“Like a Love Song is a delightful romance and oh so much more. It’s one of those books you never want to have end. I didn’t know what was coming next, but I knew it was going to be good. Like a roller coaster ride, the story towed me up steep hills, then plunged me downward into deep valleys and carried me through the heartaches, adventures, and the joys of the residents of Juniper Ranch. Truly fine work by Camille Eide. I’m ready for her next book.”

“Like a Love Song gripped my heart just pages into the story and didn’t let go until the very last word. Joe, Sue, and their entourage of castaways are a group of characters you’ll never forget. Each twist of the plot will keep you guessing—and hoping! Bravo, Camille!”
