Publisher's summary

At long last, the legendary New York Times best-selling author returns with a heartfelt novel of womanhood, a wild heart, and the healing power of love.

Run, run, as fast as you can!

When life throws her one setback too many, midwife and young widow Tess Hartsong takes off for Runaway Mountain. In this small town high in the Tennessee mountains, surrounded by nature, she hopes to outrun her heartbreak and find the solace she needs to heal.

But instead of peace and quiet, she encounters an enigmatic artist with a craving for solitude, a fairy-tale sprite with too many secrets, a helpless infant, a passel of curious teens, and a town suspicious of outsiders, especially one as headstrong as Tess. Just as headstrong is Ian North, a difficult, gifted man with a tortured soul - a man who makes Tess question everything.

In running away to this new life, Tess wonders - has she lost herself...or has she found her future?

Timely

Great story and memorable characters. I'm from Maryville, TN and I've met some of the personalities in the story. With recent feminism news and concerns, Tess Hartsong is a relatable protagonist.

Strong start - looooong middle - great ending

Susan is one of my favorite authors so it was a one-click choice to get her new novel. I have to say though that this book took me weeks to finish and in the middle part of it I considered giving up several times. Glad I didn't though because it finishes strong. Just felt dragged out and repetitive for a while.

I always love her books

SEP always creates such great characters. You can’t help but cheer them on and laugh at their wackiness.

Great story

This audio book felt waaaaay to short!!
I have always enjoyed this author and this book was one of the better ones. She didn’t follow the regular formula but turned the story into something with more depth than a mere romance novel. The sex scenes were tasteful and sizzling at the same time. A really tough balancing act. The characters were engaging and you start to cheer for them quickly. i really like the reader and will listen to books she reads just because it’s her. Is there room for a sequel? Maybe we can follow the lives of some of the other minor characters. I would be interested in that as well! I enjoyed this book enough to listen to it again soon.

So glad I bought it. Love the narrator!

This is a SEP book that is worthy of reading over and over again. The characters come to life with all their glorious flaws. It is excellent and I glad I bought it.

The narrator, Nicole Poole finally made me realize that I can love a narrator again. I really miss Anna Fields/Kate Fleming and would try to hear SEP audio books in Kate’s voice. I can love both now. Nicole is that good.

Waiting for the next book.

Love this story.

Sad that those who don't know Nicole Poole's incredible talent don't appreciate this one. I've tried several others by this author and was very disappointed. I thought this story and the unfolding of it was quite enchanting. I've listened to it several times! But, art, like literature, is truly in the eye of the beholder/listener.
Thank you for this one, Ms. Phillips, and for delivering it so beautifully, Ms. Poole.

Very emotional book

If you want a book that'll make you cry a few times, listen to this book. It'll make you laugh too, but damned if it's not an emotional book.
