Description:
"A Love Forged in Faith" is a heartfelt YA Christian romance set in the Rust Belt town of Millbrook, where sparks fly not from romance first-but from the forge. Seventeen-year-olds Maya, a metal artist, and Eli, a pastor's son, are tasked with restoring a broken church bell. As heat, rumor, and pressure rise, their partnership is tested by pride, honesty, and grace. Through confession, courage, and faith, they learn that love-like metal-requires fire and patience to become strong. A tender, truth-centered story about integrity, trust, and Christ-rooted love.
