Publisher's Summary:
Before his wife was murdered, astronaut Garrison Sterling couldn't wait to rocket into space on his first shuttle mission. Now he merely survives, one day at a time, blaming himself for the events that put his wife in a grave and his daughter Zoey in a wheelchair. And he struggles to raise Zoey, a headstrong teenager who longs for independence and rebels against his overprotective ways.
Danica Cortez, Houston's favorite morning news anchor, dreams of practicing real journalism instead of forever reading teleprompters. When she witnesses a plane crash and rescues the only survivor - a U.S. Senator - Danica becomes a national hero. But her journalistic instincts tell her that there is more to the story, leading her not only to confront a powerful politician but also to face the greatest regret of her past, her role in the tragic story that launched her career.
When Garrison and Danica meet, they sense an instant attraction. They take those tentative first steps toward love even as they wrestle with competing priorities: the needs of his daughter and the demands of her career.
Now their journey, like his planned spaceflight, might be over before it begins. Because a dark secret threatens to destroy their relationship. Forever.
Members Reviews:
Walthers outdoes Sparks by a long shot.
Walther's characters are never static, never one dimensional cut-outs. They have their faultsââsome significant ones, but we love them. Maybe because we see ourselves in them. Space in the Heart reveals the guilt and ambition and loss of the three main characters, and how they surmount their fears and become more than they thought they ever could be.
Walther employs dramatic irony and moves the plot forward. We readers know what the characters don't and we know it will be a painful hurdle to overcome.
Wonderfully done and a very satisfying read.
Compelling! A must-read.
Compelling! Waltherâs Space in the Heart held me spellbound. When I did exercise discipline and set the book down, I found I couldnât leave it down. I came back to it again and again, each time telling myself Iâd read just one more page, until finally I turned the last page.
Waltherâs characters captivated me and I stood alongside them throughout the novel, sharing in their frustrations and successes. His portrayal of a temperamental, angst-ridden teenage girl is amazingly spot on. Throughout the novel, as the father labors to provide all things for his daughter I found myself thinking that Mr. Walther must be one heck of a dad himself. And I was reminded of his dedication of the book to his own father, surely a very special man.
Space in the Heart is a story of sorrow, joy, despair, and hope; a story of courage among lifeâs challenges. It is a must-read for adults and teenagers alike.
Another wonderful story and journey
Last year around Christmas, I read Mr. Walther's novel, Broken Laces, after it popped up as a recommended book by Amazon. I was really pleasantly surprised and was swept up in the heartfelt story about a father's journey. I recommended this book to other people in my family who also loved it. It sparked many conversations because everyone read from different perspectives (as a father, son, mother, husband, ...)
And to my great surprise, after nearly a year, I see his new novel available from Amazon! Without hesitation, I downloaded this new novel.
