«Dwelling Place» by Kathleen Y'Barbo

When Sophie Comeaux visits Nell Landry in southern Louisiana, she discovers a place to belong. Encouraged by Miss Nell's pure and undefiled religion, Sophie now finds herself the adopted mother of twin girls, loving the bayou, and enjoying her life…until Nell's &quote;grandson&quote; shows up, determined to put her and her girls out of his grandmother's house. Major Ezra Landry knows a scam when he sees one. Surely that's all Sophie Comeaux is out to do — trick his sweet granny into caring for her and her kids. After Granny's death, Ezra returns to Latagnier, Louisiana, to put an end to the charade. But after spending time with the Comeaux women, he wonders if he has it all wrong. When two orphaned hearts collide, can the Lord bring them together into a dwelling place of love and trust? Or will bitterness and distrust keep them outside the embrace of a hope and a future?
