Publisher's summary

After her husband dies in a tragic accident, Katherine Arnold returns to her hometown in southern Kansas, hoping for a fresh start. She longs to reconnect with family and raise her two young children in peace. But instead, she must cope with an overbearing mother playing matchmaker and a troubled teenaged sister for a roommate. As gossip about her family blazes through town like a wildfire, Katherine wonders if returning home was the right decision.

Ryan Hudson is running from dark shadows in his past. Hiding out in Brimsfield is torture for the young police officer who is used to an action-filled life in the city. But for now, his only option is to stay put and hope his secret isn't discovered.

After their first meeting ends with a parking ticket, Katherine believes Officer Hudson is determined to make her life miserable. However, after learning about his difficult past, she finds herself drawn to the handsome and mysterious stranger. Together, will this unlikely pair be able to move past their circumstances and discover the beauty within God's plan?

Heartwarming

This was such a heartwarming, touching story. Katherine and Ryan both have had tragedy touch their lives. I enjoyed how the author brought them together and how faith helped them each in different ways. It took Ryan awhile to come to believe which made the story more realistic. I look forward to the next book in the series.

I found the narrator fine for the female voices however the male voices were a bit difficult to get accustomed to.
