This is the first contemporary romance I’ve read by Carrie Turansky and it was quite enjoyable. It is also a book that was released in 2010 but revamped. I can’t wait to read the other two books in the series where we can meet other residents in Fairhaven, Washington! The book is well-written with a smoothly flowing plot, real and hurting characters, and an overarching theme of need for forgiveness and God’s grace.
Cam is a young widower who has changed his entire career trajectory after losing his wife and son. He’s resourceful, hard-working, and loyal though a bit judgmental and harsh at times. Rachel is the director of a Christian youth theater group who is loving, compassionate, and talented though her past mistakes haunt her. As their past and present collide, both Cam and Rachel must overcome the barriers they’ve erected to find and receive forgiveness because that’s the only way their futures will align.

I received a copy of the book from the author and was under no obligation to post a positive review. All comments and opinions are solely my own. ( )
