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?

Sometimes the love you need most looks different than you imagined.
"Right Before Their Eyes" by Carrie Walker kept me turning the pages. This is a book that is about a secret love that has been hidden for 5 years. in the guise of friendship. This deals with topics such as dementia and foster care, knowing God's will and making sacrifices for others and for one character trying to fit in and illness. I really loved Clarie's devotion and love for her grandmother and how Mason was always there when needed. I think you will enjoy this story without reading "Emma's Hero" but as always, I say read the series in order that they are written. I want to read more about these characters, I don't know if more books are coming but if any comes available you can be sure I will be reading them. I really recommend this book if you like clean romance that shows God's love without a lot of preaching.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.

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.
