Miss Rachel Goldberg had no idea a knight in shining armor was about to enter her classroom. A Chicago firefighter was expected, an everyday city worker come to tell fourth graders all about his job in 30 minutes or less. But when Vic Koski lifts Rachel to demonstrate the firefighter's carry, she is—literally and figuratively—swept off her feet.

Love leads to a happy marriage and home for just the two of them, but after a few years Rachel's inner clock begins to tick. As months go by, her longing for a child becomes a consuming passion. Though Rachel tries not to question God's plan for her life, the answer she receives from Him is one she could not have anticipated.

      It does not give away the story to say that John's "In a Heartbeat, "the first in a series with the same title, is about a widow, Rachel Goldberg, who must come to terms with the death of her firefighter husband Vic's death "in a heartbeat." Vic's death and Rachel's grief are handled with great dignity and quiet passion, but the true story is of their strong marriage. Lately that marriage had been under stress because of infertility issues, and these carry beyond Vic's death in surprising ways that will gratify John's many readers and perhaps reassure them following the harsh dose of realism at the novel's center.
