When Delilah Smiles - A Book Review

Click to Purchase from Amazon

"When Delilah Smiles," will capture your heart right from the start, and I'm certain that anyone who reads this book will fall in love with it as much as I did. This is the first book by Sunnie Day that I have purchased, and now, I can't wait to read more books from this impressive author.

As soon as I started to read this book, I literally could not put it down. Sunnie Day has a wonderful way of telling a story and it's impossible not to be drawn in and become one with the characters. "When Delilah Smiles," is a beautifully rendered story about love, heartbreak, disappointments, faith and forgiveness that left me smiling after drying my tears. 

I absolutely fell in love with the elegant, sweet cover picture, with its soothing colors and the white feather. The book cover has this velvety, soft feel to it, and just holding this book in my hands brings me a wonderful, warm feeling.

Kate Moore and Adam Bennett had it all: successful careers, a comfortable lifestyle, and a deep love for each other. After living together for twelve years, Adam finally decides it's time to make their relationship official; he wants Kate to be his wife. When he presents a ring and the long-awaited proposal, Kate's unexpected announcement sends Adam reeling, and the ring goes back into his pocket.

Can love hold this middle-aged couple together when a surprise pregnancy demands serious choices? Adam Bennett, a 51-year-old successful attorney, is forced to face his own personal demons when confronted with fatherhood, Kate's high-risk pregnancy, and the doctor's report of potential disabilities. Will he follow in his father's footsteps and abandon Kate and his child, or will he step up and be the man Kate believes him to be?

A respected journalist, Kate Moore never expected to have a child. Even more unexpected is Adam's response to the news that he is going to be a father. Kate tackles not only having a baby late in life but finds out that Delilah is blind and deaf, forever changing the person Kate was and will be.

Sunnie Day
Sunnie Day's Biography: (From the author's Amazon page)

I was raised in the military and spent most of my adult life associated with the military life, traveling to many places stateside and overseas. Having raised four beautiful children, they have now graced me with four amazing grandchildren.

I enrolled in nursing school rather late in life, but after 18 years of a wonderful career in nursing, I retired this year. There was a time in my life, over 30 years ago, that I loved to write but somehow it was put on the back burner until this past year.

These past two years have been a whirlwind as I began to put my pen to page. The words began to flow from me like a fast moving river, bringing with it many new adventures that I never dreamed.

I published my first children's book called "Sunnie and her Peeps." The inspiration came from retiring and raising raising six chickens. I then found myself publishing a few eBooks and have a new book on the horizon called "When Delilah Smiles" that will be coming out soon.

I enjoy my new found love as a creative writer and find my days are filled with many inspirations to draw from. My greatest hope is that my writing inspires and encourages others.
