Publisher's summary

With her sister Abby's encouragement, Rebecca has moved out of their overbearing father's home. When a chance encounter with Chris ends with an invitation, Rebecca says yes. The authentic way Chris lives his life attracts Rebecca and garners her affection.

Chris loves Rebecca and her innocence, but he's confounded by the emotional scars she bears from her parents and an attempted assault. Her father's disdain for Chris's faith and career only make matters worse.

With the counsel of their friend Father John, can Rebecca and Chris overcome every obstacle and bridge the deepening gulf between them and her dad? Or will a crucial lapse in judgment and its repercussion end their relationship?

excellent, healthy Catholic romance novel!

i highly recommend this book to English-speaking Catholics anywhere. The way that the characters are written and portrayed is so real and helps explain the mercy of God.

Stay With Me - Coming of Age story

Stay With My by Carolyn Astfalk

This evidently is Carolyn’s first book, but is actually the third that I have read by her.

It is a beautiful love story between Rebecca and Chris that deals with learning to know each other, differing religious beliefs, past crisis, family turmoil, sexual tensions and learning the true meaning of love.

Abby comes from a home where her father’s protestant beliefs are a bit “off the wall” and ungrounded. She has stayed faithful to the church but comes to see its failures.

It is very sensual in nature, but not in an offensive way. It deals with very true issues when trying to remain pure until the wedding. I don’t think that this book would be appropriate for younger readers, but would definitely be appropriate for those entering into relationships.

This book was a gift from the author without the stipulation of review. This review is voluntary and my thoughts.

A delightful love story

This was my first time listening to a book. I was a little nervous because I love to read. I didn't need to be worried though. The story itself was great, one that spoke of faith and love. I found myself absorbed in Chris and Rebecca's story and all they went through together during the story. I also enjoyed the narrator and the way she gave each character a unique voice.
