This handsome firefighter makes a living coming to the rescue, but Gin doesn’t need a man to fight her battles.
After Raine’s dad walked out, Ginevieve Lightly never lived in one place too long, a rambling lifestyle that defined her daughter’s youth. When their car dies in Banister Falls, Wisconsin, Gin promises Raine they can stay until she finishes her senior year of high school. Gin will do anything to make sure her daughter has a bright future . . . a future that’s compromised when Raine reveals she’s pregnant.
Dan Moretti has only ever called Banister Falls home. After losing his best friend in a tragic accident, Dan devoted himself to responding to fires, rescuing the helpless, and guiding Cody Bennett, his best friend’s son, through life. With Cody being the epitome of the good kid, it was an easy job. Until he says four little words: “The baby is mine.”
Knowing gossip of Raine’s pregnancy will erupt sooner or later in the small town, Gin’s reflex is to grab the suitcase and escape to a new city, a new life. But with each passing day, Gin’s feet stay rooted in Banister Falls, and she falls a little more for this local firefighter who shows her not all men abandon women at the first sign of smoke.
As Gin and Dan do the best they can to guide the two teenagers through their early entry into adulthood, they discover together that romance can bloom in the rockiest of situations. And God can turn the pieces of a broken past into a beautiful new beginning.

Summary
Reviewer Name: Rebecca Maney \"The baby is mine\". Four little words with an everlasting impact. Ginevieve Lightly's daughter is going to be an unwed teen¬age mother, just the thought fills Gin's mind with unpleasant memories; where to go, what to do, how to begin, . . . . . should it begin. The baby's father is an honor student with a bright future, a lifelong resident of Bannister Falls, Wisconsin, and incredibly nice, but not likely to stick around. They never do. Dan Moretti has practically raised his best friend's son, Cody Bennett, after the tragic death of Cody's father, who died tragically in the line of duty as a firefighter. Cody's mom, Evie, and Dan have known each other all their life, so stepping in as a surrogate parent, of sorts, seemed perfectly natural. Coming to grips with the fact that Cody is going to be a dad, is a disappointment for both of them, but gets increasingly more difficult after Dan meets Raine Lightly's beautiful mother. What is her story? And why does she stir Dan's heart like no other? Even Evie? \"The Dandelion Field\" is a menagerie of truths, doing the right thing, saying the right thing, being the right person, at the right time. It takes a lot of courage and faith in a God who is patient and kind with new beginnings.
