Audrey Needham, Bay Area interior designer to the rich and pretentious, is down to her last nerve. Her boss is impossible to please, her future is in jeopardy, and her great-aunt Daisy needs support as her husband descends into Alzheimer’s.
When Daisy enlists Audrey’s help preparing for a move to assisted living, Audrey risks her career to return to the idyllic small town of Charity Falls, Oregon, the summer stomping grounds of her childhood. But Charity Falls was also the place that broke her heart when her father was killed in a tragic fire at the Sugar Pine Inn thirteen years ago.
Despite Audrey’s intent to avoid emotional entanglement, the pull of home is hard to resist. Something should be done about the deteriorating inn. A local girl with an incarcerated father needs a friend. And handsome local do-gooder Cade Carter is coloring Audrey all shades of uncertain.
Join award-winning writer and debut novelist Kit Tosello in this lyrical and often humorous exploration of how God redeems brokenness and draws us to the life we’re meant to find.
My Thoughts
I loved this book! It was a total delight!
The characters were so wonderful. They brought so much life and color to the story. The chemistry between Cade and Audrey was so enjoyable to read. I love how their relationship grew and blossomed. Daisy was an absolute delight. Women like her are a force to be reckoned with. I love her role in Audrey’s life and those around her. I love the stability her life gave those around her.
I enjoyed this book. The themes of faith, family, and sacrifice were beautifully illustrated.
One of the most significant things about this book was how the characters developed through life’s curve balls. Their faith and trust in God soared. Seeing how Audrey made peace with her past and how that action helped her move forward was very relatable and encouraging.
I received a copy of this book, which is my honest opinion.
