A
young architect at a prestigious Chicago firm, Bethany Quinn has
built the life she dreamed of during her trailer-park teen years. An
unexpected call from her estranged mother reveals that tragedy has
struck in her hometown and a reluctant Bethany is called back to
rural Iowa.
Determined
to pay her respects to her past while avoiding any emotional
entanglements, she vows not to stay long. The unexpected inheritance
of five hundred acres of farmland and a startling turn of events in
Chicago forces Bethany to come up with a new plan.
Handsome
farmhand Evan Price has taken care of the Quinn farm for years. When
Bethany is left the land, Evan must fight her decisions to realize
his own dreams But even as he disagrees with Bethany's vision, Evan
feels drawn to her and the pain she keeps so carefully locked away.
For
Bethany, making peace with her past and the God of her childhood
doesn't seem like the path to freedom. Is letting go the only way to
new life, love, and a peace that she's not even sure exists?
Beautifully
drawn characters will win your heart from page one of this poignant
story, lingering in your mind when you've finished. It's a tale of
loss and sorrow and of dreams redeemed. Novel Rocket and I give it a
very high recommendation.
