A mysterious letter alluding to a secret in her parents’ past brings Genevieve Woodward back to her Blue Ridge Mountains hometown, but she’s also in need of a break from a high-profile career that has left her dangerously burned out and concealing a powerful secret of her own. When she wakes inside an unfamiliar cottage to find the confused owner staring down at her, she can no longer ignore the fact that she needs help.
Sam Turner has embraced his sorrow and his identity as an outsider. The solitary, disciplined life he lives on his historic farm is the life he’s chosen for himself. The last thing he wants is to rent his cottage to a woman as troubled as she is talkative. Yet, he can’t force himself to turn her away right when she needs him most.
As Genevieve researches her family’s history and her and Sam’s emotions deepen, they will have to let go of the facades and loneliness they’ve clung to and allow light to illuminate every hidden truth.

Summary
In Stay with Me by Becky Wade, tackles a tough topic of opioid addiction. Genevieve is a Bible study writer and speaker. I kept imagining Beth Moore as Genevieve.
I enjoyed the relationship between Genevieve and her sister, Natosha. Once you understand about the Miracle Five you understand her relationship with her mother.
Sam recognizes immediately Genevieve’s option addiction because he had already lost someone to it. I found it interesting how he helped her through the withdrawal. He had an interesting occupation as he had his own store and cook farm to table.
Genevieve and Natasha are also researching a mystery surrounding their parents.
We have another story line of the Miracle Five. The Miracle Five is the story of Genevieve, her sister and three other kids when they were on a mission trip and an earthquake happened. The children were trapped for several days. This was a touching story from each of the kids perspectives. Most of them keep in touch after surviving such an ordeal.
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
