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.

"How could this purse-snooping man with the alluring face and zero sympathy have uncovered her secret so suddenly and so thoroughly?"
And the lovely Geneviere Woodward is carrying a boatload of secrets. For months she has been infusing her public life as a well known Christian writer and speaker with with subtle- turned- blatant lies; how ironic that her deceit catches up with her withine the walls of an isolated cottage on Sam Turner's historic North Georgia farm. Obviously, the question is just begging to be asked . . . . . what is she going to do about it?
Unfortunately for Geneviere, her own conundrum is one of two to be solved; someone has intimated through a somewhat threatening letter than her upstanding parents have skeletons of their own tucked away in their closets.
"He'd stupidly placed his trust in too many lost causes over the years . . . " . . never again, Sam Turner tells himself. But neither can he refuse Geneviere's plea for a place to stay while she battles her demons and investigates her parents' past. The woman unnerves him, to put it mildly. Sam has fashioned a nice, predictable, satisfying, . . . lonely . . .life, and he refuses to let a few electrifying laundry room encounters change his self imposed isolation.
It seems that God's ways are much higher than any that Sam or Gen can conjure up, for in the struggle to become transparent, theirs is a love that tethers brokeness with mercy, and regrets with the most amazing grace.
What a beautifully written story!
