About the Book
Book: Searching for Home
Author: Jill Weatherholt
Genre: Inspirational Romance
Release date: December 28, 2021
Can three little matchmakers lasso a cowboy father?
When injured professional bull rider Luke Beckett returns to his hometown to recover, he doesn’t expect his B and B host and physical therapist to be his first and only love, Meg Brennan. He’s also unprepared for Meg’s adorable triplets to steal his heart. Luke’s past has him doubting he’s good enough for Meg and the children, but they might be just what the doctor ordered to help him heal…
Marilyn's thoughts:
Searching for Home
is a heartwarming and delightful story of second chance at love, giving of self
to help others and an inspirational tale. Most of all the characters from the
youngest to the oldest desire was to find a happy and loving home life where
each member was respected and cherished.
Meg Brennan had a
lot on her plate when her first love Luke Beckett knocked on the Band B door
she was managing. She had her PT office for patients, guardianship of her
sister’s triplets and managing a B and B that had been damaged recently in
Whispering Slopes. Meg and Luke both had experienced abandonment from parents
while growing up and with Luke leaving with only a letter to Meg that she
couldn’t bear to read at the time. How will they interact with each other with
Meg renting him a room, because she needed funds, and then discovering his
agent set him up for PT at her office?
The triplets were
so sweet despite all they had been through. My heart went out to Tucker and I
appreciate how Weatherholt created Luke to connect easily to this young six
year old. The characters are well developed with strong and flaw
characteristics, an opportunity to face their past while finding renewed
appreciation for each other. The triplets and their antics of matchmaking with
the aid of the cook was definitely a joy to read. This is one Love Inspired
book that will be reread in the future, as it’s filled with smiles, tears but a
poignant theme of overcoming, giving to others, and faith.
I received a complimentary
copy of this book from Celebrate Lit and the author. I was under no obligation
to write a positive review but have shared my own opinion.

More from Jill
It happened in slow motion.
I was traveling on the interstate at 65 mph, in the far-left lane. The traffic was heavy but moving.
Then the unthinkable happened. A wheelbarrow fell off the back of a pickup truck in front of my car.
Swerving to my right lane wasn’t an option, it was full of cars. The left shoulder was narrow and led to a steep drop off.
I gripped the wheel and had a split second to weigh my options. If I maintained my course, the wheelbarrow would burst through my windshield. If I went to the right, I could cause a multi-car pileup. There was a tractor trailer close behind me, so I couldn’t hit my brakes.
I prepared myself for the worst. Then I prayed to God to help me.
Moments later, when I was safely off the interstate, I burst into tears. I was still alive. No one was injured. But how? I couldn’t recall how I got to the exit ramp. How was I able to guide my car around the wheelbarrow?
Later, I realized that God was truly in control of my life. Growing up in the church and listening to my grandmother, I had always known God loved me. But that day, I felt His love more than I ever had my life. He wanted me to live. But why?
I’d like to think that He wasn’t quite finished with me. That maybe He had better things in store for me. Perhaps He blessed me with a gift to weave together a story that can give a person hope. A story that can bring a little light into what is sometimes a dark and scary world. After all, I didn’t grow up wanting to be a writer. Like that day on the interstate, it’s all God’s goodness.
