My Children Say No

She spent eight years being strong for everyone else. Now her children want to decide whether she deserves to love again.

At fifty-seven, Victoria Bennett has built a successful business, raised three children, and survived the heartbreak of losing her husband. She’s the woman everyone depends on—the one who makes the difficult decisions, keeps the family together, and never lets anyone see how lonely she feels. But beneath her independence is a heart that still longs to be cherished.

When she meets Lawrence Whitfield, a gentle, faith-filled widower who understands the ache of losing a spouse, Victoria begins to rediscover everything she thought was behind her. His tender embraces awaken forgotten desires, his kisses remind her that passion doesn’t expire, and his steady presence offers something she hasn’t experienced in years: a shoulder to lean on. But Lawrence carries financial mistakes from his past, and Victoria’s adult children are determined to protect her—even if protecting her means standing in the way of her happiness.

Can Victoria honour the family she loves without surrendering the future her heart is finally ready to embrace? As secrets surface and loyalties are tested, Victoria must decide whether protecting her family means holding everyone close—or finding the courage to let them grow.

With faith to guide her, she discovers that love after loss is not betrayal. It is a new beginning.

My Children Say No is a heartfelt Christian later-in-life romance about family, grief, forgiveness, and the courage to choose joy again.
