Dori is a single mother, living with her grandfather. Johnny is raising his two brothers, his mother had died and his dad is in prison. Both of them have lived hard lives and live as people have said on the wrong side of town.

In one night everything will change for both of them. Dori and her grandfather's house burns to the ground, and Dori's grandfather has a heart attack and dies. All of her so called Christian neighbors are there and pay their respects, but none of them offer her a place to stay. Johnny and his brothers ride over to the fire and when they notice that Dori is standing there all alone, they invite her and her baby to come and stay at their house.

While both of them have many hardships to overcome, they will stand by each other. Small town gossip causes a lot of problems for the two of them, but will they overcome all the bad gossip that is aimed at both of them?

I love Sharon Sala's stories. I really enjoyed I'LL STAND BY YOU until the end. The reason for that is that I read it in one day and was mad that I read it so fast. But that is the main reason that I enjoy Sharon Sala's books. Sala hooks you from the first page and no matter how tired you get, you can't put it down.

The way that Sala includes other characters from previous books is something else that I enjoy. It is always great to see what has been going on with the other characters from previous story lines. Lastly I like that at the end of the book, she gives a small hint on what will be happening in the next book. I can't wait, maybe I will read the next one a little slower so it keeps me entertained for a little longer than one day.

I will have to reread I'LL STAND BY YOU and relive the things I loved so much!
