One day Ava can no longer hide the horrendous pain that she has held in for so long. She finally has to share with her friends that she had a child while in college. The revelation is just sinking in when she also tells everyone that because she was so ashamed of her actions that she gave her only baby up for adoption. Ava’s friends are understanding but are also upset that she felt that she couldn’t come to them when she needed them most. With the knowledge of their love and support, Ava makes the decision to find her baby at all costs.
Langston Warrington is a refined gentleman and the heir to the Warrington holdings. He has taken over the family Law Practice since the death of his father. Langston has so many regrets in his life . He was in love with Ava Peretti and allowed his mother to run her out of his life. The one regret he doesn’t have is saving his only child from the fate planned by his parents. Instead of supporting their son when he needed it, they were only concerned about the family name and how things would look. Langston has to intercede for his daughter Zoe in so many ways but when he hears her prayers one night and says “I want a mommy to Love me”, he decides to move heaven and earth to make his child happy.
Victoria Wells has given us another wonderfully written story with “Key To My Heart”. The story is well developed and flows smoothly throughout the entire book. She has brought back the supporting characters of Summer, Starr, Kevin, Karen, and Nicholas. The expanded characters of Grandmother Warrington, the Piretti’s, Janet and Dominic only give the reader more insight into family dynamics good and bad. Ava’s friends didn’t persecute Ava for her actions because the pain and guilt she has carried inside was already horrible for her. What they do make her understand is that when you have a loving friends and family, you are supported and loved. The pain that you feel, they feel also because they have also suffered a loss by not knowing there was a precious child born who is growing up without their love. Langston on the other hand learns the ugly truth about his mother and how she really feels about him. How much forgiveness is there?
