womanly form to help handsome widower Paul Roland with his baby girl. And the
moment she holds the precious bairn in her arms, Fern knows true happiness for
the first time.
But Fern never anticipates the dizzying emotions she feels for the man

Appraisal:
“Oh by me heart” this is an enchanting story, which begins quite by
accident. Paul Roland is an author who lost his muse and his wife, Marie, when
she died two years ago during a difficult childbirth. Paul has brought Katy,
their daughter, to visit and spend time with Marie’s parents in Ireland. Fern
is an adventurous Pixie, full of curiosity, and a strong will. She is also not
wary of humans, nonbelievers are unable to see all things magical. However,
Fern gets great joy from playing and entertaining babies, who still have
magical sight. And this is how she gets trapped in the sleeve of Katy’s sweater
then ends up on an airplane headed to New York City. As Pixie Fern contemplates
her predicament in a private space away from human eyes she suddenly finds
herself transformed into human form.
The plot moves at a nice pace as Fern and Paul settle into a working
relationship with Fern as Katy’s nanny and Paul tries to get back into his
writing. Until Fern starts experiencing emotions she doesn’t understand and has
no idea how to deal with. The twists in the story are enlightening, poignant, and
honest. The depth of character development is much deeper than I expected in
this type of story. Honestly I shouldn’t have been surprised, one of Ms.
Fasano’s strengths is the depth of her characters and their realistic dialogue.
But, I was expecting a lighthearted tale. Silly me!
Expect to be blown away by the complexity of the human spirit you will
find in Fern and Paul’s journey in A
Reason to Believe.

A Reason
to Believe is book three in A Family Forever Series.
