Summary
3.5 stars Review by Rebecca
"Where had the days gone when she'd felt such elation at arriving at her new destination with a whole new city to explore . . . The job she'd loved so much in the beginning had gradually become more like drudgery."
Travel writer Liesl Bachmann arrives at The Inn at Rosebud Lane on the cusp of wondering if her wandering life was beginning to grow tiresome as well as a bit lonesome. Her career had certainly brought success, but lately it was falling short of fulfilling. Upon meeting her host for the next few weeks, Zach Freylan, Liesl could not help but question his career choice, for Zach wasn't the most hospitable of hosts and seemed to enjoy directing his guests to the information laden notebooks in their rooms rather than engaging in personal conversation. Was this trip to the beautiful mountains of North Carolina going to be a bang or a bust?
It had been two years since the tragic death of his wife and Zach Freylan had lost his enthusiasm for the constant ebbs and flows of proprietorship, after all it had been Jenny's family history that prompted them to save and restore the inn property. Along came Liesl, like a breath of fresh air, full of curiosity with her probing questions and unique perspectives. Might she be an answer to prayer that Zach never thought to utter?
Moderately paced and deep inspiring this nearly love-at-first-sight novel is such a sweet reminder that the God who touches the mountains has plans for our lives that are far above our own.
