When a single mother enters the exciting world of dating as a divorcee, she had to lean on God and those around her and not give in to doubt
LEHI, Utah, Oct. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Melissa J. Dellaca wanted to share a story with others who are struggling with similar life experiences as she went through including divorce, dating with kids, blending a family, etc. She has especially sought to highlight that God has always been there for her and that trials in life should not be a reason to abandon one's faith. It is for these reasons she writes "Strength on the Water" (published by WestBow Press).
Divorced, single mom, college student – Melissa did not always feel like she would be topping the list of intriguing women to date. Somehow, once she found herself on the open market, there seemed to be a steady flood of interested men. Maybe it was the fact that she was a newly minted triathlete, very active, and always up for fun adventures? Perhaps the men liked that she would soon be a registered dental hygienist with a promising career? Whatever it was, Melissa's life was busy in a good way and she loved it. However, a nagging loneliness crept in. She really did not want to be single forever. Did God have a plan in mind for her?
When she meets a man that seems perfect, the doubts rise to a level of near debilitation. Can they really make this work, and does she deserve it? Yet God always seems to find a way to reassure her that he is there and aware of her if she will only listen.
"[Melissa's] warm, unaffected narrative voice will have readers rooting for her, and her memoir is a refreshing, page-turning look at parenthood and singlehood in a contemporary 'smallish desert town.' A highly readable and heartfelt memoir of finding love in crowded circumstances." - Kirkus Reviews
