A ONE-OF-A-KIND FAMILY is the story of Anna Chapel who works with special needs people, and assists them in becoming the best person they can be. When she gets a call from Liam Franklin needing some assistance in finding someone to care for his twin brother Colm when he travels Anna gets more than she bargained for.
As I read A ONE-OF-A-KIND FAMILY I found myself often smiling at the conversation between Colm and whomever he might be speaking to. It was easy to believe that a friendship was quickly blossoming between Anna and Colm, and I loved reading about it.
As Colm changed and became more independent Anna and Liam found themselves butting heads, and from there developing a deep respect and understanding of one another. Therefore when love began it was again possible to believe.
Ms. Jacobs took what could be a touchy subject and injected a perfect blend of humor into it, but didn't make Colm a spectacle for public humiliation. When I closed A ONE-OF-A-KIND FAMILY I wanted to search my shelves for other works by Ms. Jacobs. I think that says it all.
Book Summary
Anna Chapel believes in people. She believes in helping them
lead exceptional lives. Now the dedicated life coach wants
to do that for different yet special Colm Franklin. If
Colm's breath-stopping, overprotective brother, Liam, will
let her.
But the guilt-ridden computer programmer
refuses to believe, to dream. Or could it be Liam simply
needs to learn how? Anna's biggest challenge may be ahead:
can one woman with a head full of wayward curls and a smile
a mile long convince Liam that they have a fighting chance?
That, together, they can overcome anything to create a
family that's truly one of a kind?
