Angel Lane (Paperback)

"Keep the heart in Heart Lake." That's exactly what three small-town shop owners hope to do when they launch their crazy-ambitious "Have a Heart" campaign--asking neighbors to commit one random act of kindness every day. Emma, Sarah, and Jamie love their lakeside community, but the little town is growing too big too fast, and a doing a good deed never hurt anyone. "Or so they thought..."

When Emma slashes prices at her quilt shop, practically giving away blankets to anyone who looks vaguely cold, she almost stitches her way into bankruptcy. Sarah's free cooking class boils down to a hotbed of crime when some punk kid swipes her favorite heirloom. And at Jamie's chocolate shop, things take a bittersweet turn when a local policeman starts giving her grief, stirring up feelings she's tried to forget--and slowly melts away her defenses...

With irresistible humor, warmth, affection--"and recipes!"--author Sheila Roberts serves up a generous, open-hearted story about the friendships we make, the chances we take, and the lives we touch every day.
