Lean on Me

Two neighbors in a charming, historic St. Louis community clash over a misunderstanding. Yet caregiving, faith, and forgiveness transform an awkward first encounter into something neither expected—an emotional Christian romance.

Tabitha Knicely believes in family above all. She may be overwhelmed caring for her beloved great-aunt, but she would never turn her back on the woman who raised her, even as Aunt Tweet's dementia worsens. Tabitha is sure she can do this on her own. But when Aunt Tweet ends up on her neighbor's front porch and the man has the audacity to accuse Tabitha of elder abuse, things go from bad to awful.
Marcus Whittington feels a mountain of regret for causing problems for Tabitha and her great-aunt. How was he to know the frail older woman's niece was doing the best she could? As Marcus gets to know Aunt Tweet and sees how hard Tabitha is fighting to keep everything together, he can't walk away from the pair. Particularly when helping Tabitha care for her great-aunt leads them on a spiritual journey of faith, surrender, and love.
