One Perfect Spring - Irene Hannon

Claire Summers is a determined, independent single mother who is doing her best to make lemonade out of the lemons life has handed her. Keith Watson is a results-oriented workaholic with no time for a social life. As the executive assistant to a local philanthropic businessman, he’s used to fielding requests for donations. But when a letter from Claire’s eleven-year-old daughter reaches his desk, everything changes. The girl isn’t asking for money, but for help finding the long-lost son of an elderly neighbor.
As Keith digs reluctantly into this complicated assignment, he has no idea how intertwined his life and Claire’s will become–nor how one little girl’s kindhearted request will touch so many lives and reap so many blessings.
Through compelling characters and surprising plot twists, Irene Hannon offers readers this tenderhearted story of family connections that demonstrates how life is like lilacs–the biggest blooms often come only after the harshest winters.

My Take:

Haley has to be the dearest eleven year old. Her next door neighbor, who has cancer and wants to find the son she put up for adoption. When Haley sees David's company on the news, she has a grand idea. She writes a letter to him asking to help Marianna find her son. She had no idea when she wrote that letter the course of events that it would spin in motion. 
Keith drove me crazy for the first half of the book. Once I understood him more, I liked him.
Haley by far was my favorite. She not only was kind in thinking about Marianna, she was a lot of fun.
Besides this having a huge adoption theme, it was also about strong, independent women, and the theme of Jeremiah 29:11 flowed throughout it.
 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
