Brad and Emily return in a heartwarming and emotional story about a family faced with secrets and an unexpected visitor who could destroy their happily ever after.

“Boy, can Lorhainne pull a person into her stories. They just grab you and don’t let go!! You feel all the emotions they do!! Happiness, anger, frustration but always love…” 

A Different Kind of Love brings back the couple you fell in love with in The Forgotten Child. Now, years later, Brad and Emily are faced an entirely new set of challenges with their preteen autistic boy when his mother, Crystal, returns.  She wants a relationship with the boy she abandoned—something Brad and Emily never expected. She says she’s changed, but can the Friessens believe her?
