Can a fatherless man learn to be a father after a lifetime of abuse?  In When I Am in your Arms, the second of four books in the Singing over Me series, Ian O’Malley, gifted Irish-American musician has come home to the family he abandoned 20 years ago. He brings his young Hispanic friend, producer, Nick Jo Costas with him from Nashville to help him start his own production company. After two brief, failed marriages, Nick is frightened to try again, especially when his heart is captured by a sweet, life-long Christian, a widowed mother of three. Ian prays the song he writes for his wife, “When I am in your Arms,”  will convince Nick to try to find God in the arms of loving wife, but can their relationship triumph over culture conflict and prejudice?
