Celebrate Lit Blog Tour: Emma's Hero by Carrie Walker

Book: Emma’s Hero

Author: Carrie Walker

Genre: Christian Contemporary Romance

Release Date: April 5, 2024

“God won’t give me more than I can handle? I’m pretty sure He just did.”

After a year of loss and bad choices distance Emma Reynolds from her lifelong beliefs, she finds herself pregnant and alone at a twenty-week ultrasound, hearing the words “incompatible with life.” When her son, Theo, survives birth, she fights to give him the best care possible. As each day passes, Emma’s love for Theo grows—along with her fear of losing him. She can’t understand why God allows her son to suffer.

Seventeen-year-old blogger, Mason Hughes, feels lonely and worthless after his father left their family years ago. When he ignores his mother’s push to “contribute to society,” she volunteers him to help Emma each week. Wishing he’d applied for any other job, Mason has no choice but to grocery shop and practice his rusty social skills with a mother and son he doesn’t know.

Paramedic Ben Sullivan has earned himself the title of “most eligible” bachelor among his friends as they continually set him up on blind dates. While he’d love to avoid the uncomfortable events, his heart can’t help but seek the one thing missing in his life—a marriage like his parents have. If only he could find the woman himself.

As Theo’s tiny life connects them to each other, their loneliness breaks under the love of community, and they will never be the same.

Contempory Christian Romance novels are a favorite genre of mine. I also LOVE reading books from new authors. Emma's Hero by Carrie Walker is the latest in this genre that I have read. 

WOW, I can honestly say that my heart was very touched by this storyline. I don't think I have teared up while reading a book as much as I did with this storyline. Emma's story of being a Single Mom with a Special Needs son, Theo, is so heartwarming. I really LOVE the character Mason. His compassion and understanding for Emma and Theo just tugs at my heartstrings. Even though his mom forced him to help Emma and Theo, he has come to LOVE helping on a weekly basis. Paramedic Ben Sullivan does have a desire to marry one day but has never "found the one". He sees Emma at the hospital and decides to pray for her, even without knowing her. The connection between Ben and Emma when they finally meet is so tender and heartfelt. The book captivated me from the very beginning and only got better as I read. The author really did her research, especially in regards to the medical aspect of the book. The storyline is one of Faith, LOVE and Friendships. I am excited to read more books from Carrie Walker in the future. She really is an AMAZING writer and her debut novel is a MUST READ! GREAT BOOK!

More from Carrie

A number of years ago, I walked into a hospital room to visit a young woman I knew whose daughter with semi-lobar holoproscencephaly had been admitted. When I laid my eyes on the beautiful, tiny baby I knew that sweet girl had touched many lives, probably without her mother even knowing. The seed for a story was planted. I’d never written a book before so I ignored it for a long time, but then I witnessed an isolated teen in the school my children went to and that seed of an idea blossomed. Soon, the idea of a baby changing the life of a troubled teen would not leave me alone. And because I believe every book is better with romance, that baby might just have to touch a few other lives 😉 I took writing classes and penned this story over and over until it was right. And now I hand baby Theo to you, and pray he touches your life as well.
