Originally posted by authornwolf at post
Denie Shaw considers her life settled. She has a wonderful group of family and friends, and she has a successful cupcake store. The only thing Denie refuses to admit missing is a fulfilling personal life. After three disastrous relationships, Denie had resolved to never again get involved with a man. However, an unexpected meeting with her crush, ice hockey star Tom Billingsly unearths emotions that thrust Denie into a tailspin of whether to let God unfold His plan or hide behind the fear entrenched in her heart.
Icing is a reminder that God has a future for each of us that exceeds our expectations, and that adhering to Christian principles yields a more satisfying life in the long-term. To experience His grace, one must unconditionally trust Him and accept His will. Trusting God unconditionally requires strength that must be developed and continuously maintained. Throughout the book, Denie prays to God for guidance and thanks Him for blessing her. Only by being faithful to Christian principles could Denie understand how past troubles prepared her for a new phase in life. As a result, she learned completely trust God regardless of the circumstances.
