About the Book

Is he married or isn’t he?

Years ago, a Dear John letter and then an IED explosion overseas rocked Davis Donnelly’s world and left him unclear about his marital status. He’d signed divorce papers, but broken mentally and physically, he’d never bothered to find out if his marriage actually ended. Now that he’s about to start a new position as an outreach minister, it’s time to settle things once and for all. At the moment he tracks down his wife—or former wife?—she takes a tumble while chasing a little boy. Her son. And that’s when life flips upside down. 

Joy Jennings Donnelly made her share of mistakes. But one thing she never considered a mistake was her child, and she’ll do anything to protect him. Even keep his paternity a secret. 

When she’s suddenly injured with not a soul to help her or her son, Joy is forced to rely on the man who has the most reasons to hate her.

In My Opinion

I am so happy Janet W. Ferguson gives us Davis’s story in her Coastal Hearts series. For those following along with the series, we already know about some of the mistakes in Davis’s past, but oh boy, does For the Love of Joy introduce a whole new side of things.

Joy and Davis were both at fault in the collapse of their marriage (the saying “it takes two” is a saying for a reason) and years later they are brought back together. Davis is ready to take on a new ministry role but first needs closure with Joy. But God’s plans aren’t always our plans and that’s a good thing.

With humor, heart, friendship, and reminders of God’s unfailing love for his children, For the Love of Joy is perhaps my favorite book (yet) in this series.
