Book: Right Before Their Eyes
Author: Carrie Walker
Genre: Romantic Women’s Fiction
Release Date: February 5, 2025
Sometimes the love you need most looks different than you imagined.
Clare Martin thought nothing of agreeing to live with her dementia-ridden grandmother when her parents left on mission. Balancing that with her job as a social worker and the expectations of her career-driven boyfriend proved doable—until Grandma started a house fire.
Mason Hughes has loved Clare for years, but the time was never right to tell her and now she’s dating someone else, fixing Mason firmly in the friend zone. He’s working to be a pediatric neurologist, a dream inspired by a special boy with a terminal brain condition, and must choose a medical school. Finances are so tight he’s forced to consider a program across the country, a troubling fact he’s kept secret.
Lucia Roberts, a seventeen-year-old on Clare’s caseload, loses her foster home and is placed in an unwelcoming group home. At every turn she’s met with rejection and becomes desperate for any proof she has value—enough to make choices that could affect the rest of her life.
When Grandma Dottie and Lucia’s paths take a dangerous turn, Clare frantically tries to save them. As their lives knit together, will they find the love that’s right before their eyes?

I started reading this book and just could not stop reading. The story is just amazing. The 2 main characters in the book are Clare Martin and Mason Hughes. Clare is a Social Worker and also a caregiver to her Grandmother. Clare and Mason have known each other for YEARS and Mason has had a crush on Clare for quite a long time. He has never been able to express his feelings for her, and now she is in a relationship. Clare is really struggling to care for her grandmother and do her work as a Social Worker. Her current client, Lucia, is 17 years old and has been shifted around from Foster Home to Foster Home. Her relationship is starting to fall apart with her boyfriend. Mason is also in the middle of making some major life changing decisions. I really LOVED seeing Clare stepping up to help others, especially her Grandmother and Lucia. Mason has a strong faith and truly a heart for helping others. The author really does a great job at clearly taking so many happenings in one book woven together through many twists and turns. The storyline is one of Faith, LOVE and Friendships. I am really enjoying this series and I am already looking forward to another book in this series. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Contempory Christian Romance. FANTASTIC BOOK!

More from Carrie
When I was writing “Emma’s Hero” I had a few readers that took an early peek at it, before it was completed. More than once, I was informed “This is not the only book, right?” And so, this story was a reality in my mind, before it was even thought of. This book just was. And the characters helped tell the story. Mason grew a lot in Emma’s Hero, but he has a lot more growing to do, especially in the realm of relationships, communication and figuring out how to live this newfound faith. Grandma Dottie is a character inspired by a combination of both my grandmothers, and there is a story she tells to Mason almost halfway through the story that is a true story borrowed from my own grandparents 🙂 That’s all I’m telling you, you’ll have to find it. But I just love that a part of their love story made it into mine.
