What does a girl do when life doesn’t go according to her plan?
At 36, Kendall Haynes has seen some of her dreams come true. She’s a
family physician helping kids with severe allergies and asthma achieve
more fulfilling lives—a childhood struggle she knows all too well. But
the feeling of being “the kid never picked” looms large when romance
continues to evade her and yet another one of her closest friends gets
engaged. Are Kendall’s dreams of having it all—a career, a husband,
children—nothing more than childish wishing upon a star? Should she hold
out for her elusive Plan A? Dust off Plan B? Or is it time to settle?
God says he knows the plans he has for her—why can’t Kendall figure them
out and be content with her life?
Griffin Walker prefers flying solo—both as an Air Force pilot and in
his personal life. But a wrong choice and health problems pulled him out
of the cockpit. His attempts to get out of “flying a desk” are
complicated by his parents’ death—making Griffin the reluctant guardian
of his sixteen-year-old brother, Ian. How did his life get so off
course? Can God get his life back on track … or has there been a divine
plan all along?
Catch a Falling Star reminds readers that romance isn’t just
for twenty-somethings and that sometimes letting go of your “wish I
may, wish I might” dreams is the only way to embrace everything God has
waiting for you.

My Review:
I enjoyed reading this sweet story. Things are not always as they
appear. We are with Dr Kendall Hayes who is thirty-six, and not married.
She thought she could have it all...a medical career, a husband, and
children. She is at that point in life where it doesn't look like it is
going to happen. She is again going to be a bridesmaid in her friends
wedding.
There is so much going on in Dr Hayes life, busy, busy. Her
chance meeting with an old friend Dr Heath Parker, may put romance in
the picture. He seems to be all that Kendall would want!
She also
stumbles upon, really, when she is at the restaurant with her friends,
Ian Walker as he collapses and nearly dies. He is there with his brother
Colonel Griffin Walker.
We deal with some tough subject here, but
God is in their lives. All they need to do is trust. There is also a
side story here with one of Dr Kendall's office workers. She is trying
to adopt a child, and things are not going well, but help comes from an
unlikely source.
We find things are not always as they appear, and we
will root for hopefully the right people to come out on top! This is a
great, fast, page turning read, and the only part I was disappointed in
was....I wanted more!
