About this ebook
More Than Words: Bestselling authors & Real-life heroines
Each year, the Harlequin More Than Words award is given to three women who have worked hard to change people's lives for the better. Inspired by their accomplishments, three bestselling authors have written stories to honor these real-life heroines.
In Light This Candle, Major Mitch McConnell has arrived home after serving overseas for nearly two years. Now he can finally give his condolences to Cassidy Frazier, whose husband died under his command. But when he tracks down the single mother, he finds out that Cassidy is about to be evicted and her son, Cody, is in the hospital.
At first, Cassidy tells Mitch she doesn't want his help. The military wasn't there for her when it mattered most, so she certainly doesn't need them now. But Mitch is more than a soldier: he's a caring, gentle man who's determined to ease Cassidy's burdens. And if she lets him into her family, perhaps she can give Mitch something worth fighting for...
Look for all three ebooks inspired by real-life heroines: Good Neighbors by Sheila Roberts, Just Joe by Carla Cassidy and Light This Candle by Cindy Dees.

Great story it gave me hope on a real concern I have. I have a 35yr. old daughter who has two children with cystic fibrosis, and she was just told she has cancer for the seventh time, After having both her breast removed several years ago Now she has developed two knots in the right breast skin where two limped nodes were left from her first surgery along with now having lung cancer. This gives inspiration that we will find the help she needs.

This book was really really good and brought tears to my eyes at certain points. It really hit close to home as I myself am a military spouse, I would like to think that if anything ever did happen that I would be able to rely on friends and family members.
