Leaves in the Wind — Gail Deyoung

Social worker Tara Singer uses her special gifts of empathy and telepathy to understand what her patients go through. Though Tara takes a personal interest in every client, she is attracted to the widower who comes to her on the edge of hope, afraid of losing his five-year-old daughter lying in the hospital in a coma. Dan Turner cannot believe God wants him to suffer the loss of his only child shortly after his wife has died of cancer. When the social worker tells him she will telepathically connect with his daughter to convince her to come out of the coma, he agrees. Tara s training warns her not to become involved with a patient, but when Dan kisses her, it feels right. Though he s the man of her dreams, she believes he s not ready for another relationship. Will she take her own advice or lose the man she loves?
