Manny and Celia meet at their friends' wedding where he propositions her and she slugs him. Months later, Manny has given his wild lifestyle and wants to make amends and really get to know Celia. He ends up grounded by a parachuting accident and is finally able to spend time with Celia and her son, but Celia doesn’t want to get to get involved with a man holding a dangerous job. Will she be able to take a leap of faith?

"A Soldier’s Family" is an inspirational tale that can get a little preachy at times. Both characters seem to be a little extreme. I kept wishing they were not so intense. On the other hand, it was refreshing to read a story with Latin-American characters and both were slightly older than your typical romance hero and heroine.
