This is a romance perfect for Valentine's Day. Suspense helps drive its characters and plot with themes of grief, regret, and second chances. The three wounded characters have deep conflicts and all are on a journey of growth. Zoey is a unique character, filled with personality, teenage moodiness and strivings to be an independent person. Being in a wheel chair sets her apart, yet Rodney Walther’s strong and apt character develop-ment allows us to sit in her chair as we read. 

The relationships feel real and the conflicts hard to solve—which make Space in the Heart a rewarding read.
