The charming town of Glenbrooke, Oregon, welcomes readers once more
to delight in a contemporary love story. In this all-new offering
in the heartwarming Glenbrooke series, bestselling author Robin
Jones Gunn's characters get two lessons on love: it's not based on
performance and its motives must be pure. When Leah Hudson, the
"ugly duckling" among beautiful sisters, meets mysterious newcomer
Seth Edwards, she thinks someone could love her after all. Their
friendship grows, but Seth has things he must work through before
he can open himself to anyone. An unexpected inheritance serves to
complicate matters that strike to the core of Seth's and Leah's
hearts and faith.
Leah Hudson loves to give. But when others want to give back? Well,
that's another story entirely!
After years of pouring herself out for others, Leah, an average
twenty-seven-year-old woman, finally finds herself receiving. She
has her own cottage in Glenbrooke, wonderful friends, a great job
at the hospital, and the attention of Seth Edwards, the new guy in
town. She even wins a cruise to Alaska when she accidentally dials
the number of a radio station!
So why can't Leah relax and enjoy this new season of her life?
When an inheritance of fifty acres of prime Oregon woodlands is
left to her--with a certain condition attached--Glenbrooke's town
lawyer, Collin Radcliffe, prompts Leah to question Seth's motives
for his interest in her. Only by turning her affections in a new
direction will Leah be able to hear the true song of this
springtime of her life.
From bestselling and award-winning author Robin Jones Gunn--a
poignant novel about a woman who must care for her ill and elderly
father, hoping to mend both his health and their relationship. A
daughter's gift of time, a father's silent wish. Erin Bryce and her
best friend, Sharlene, count the day they start their wedding
planning business as a very happy day. So much so that they name
their company The Happiest Day to reflect the fulfillment of their
long-held dream as well as their clients' longing for a wedding
celebration to match the exhilaration of being in love. As a bonus,
the two women utilize their business to help Erin's son Jordan and
his fiancee, Sierra, plan a grand wedding. But the two friends
aren't prepared for the cloud moving in to cover the sunny,
successful start of their business. Erin's father, who lives in a
small coastal Oregon community with his brusque, downright odd
second wife, Delores, develops a medical problem that puts him in
the hospital. Erin responds by rushing from Southern California to
her father's--and oh, yeah, Delores's--cottage by the sea. What
greets Erin when she arrives sends her tumbling down a bewildering
path to a different kind of happiest day. Her journey tosses her
through highs and lows of hurt and healing, betrayal and renewal,
wrong assumptions righted, and the brightest future one could ever
hope for. All just around the corner, at the cottage by the sea.
Robin Jones Gunn reveals poignant truths from her life as well as
from the lives of women in the Bible as she flips the notion that
we are at the mercy of circumstances. She asks, what if God has
dreams for you? What if he is accomplishing those dreams in the
midst of shattered hopes? When life doesn t go as expected, it s
easy to feel like a victim. We look at the events that have gone
wrong and view our lives as impaired. What if we could see our
future as God sees it? Would our view radically change if we
understood we are indeed victims rather than of happenstance? God,
the Relentless Lover, has vigorously sought you. He has instilled
dreams in your heart that are grander than you can imagine. But the
route to their fulfillment often is through a path you wouldn't
seek. What if God wants to take the hopes that tug at your heart
and enliven them? Are you ready to live inside the mysterious joy
of being a victim of grace?"
Carissa doesn't know who she is anymore. She and her husband,
Richard, are recent empty nesters; Richard is spending more and
more time at work counseling his volatile clients and less time at
home with his wife; his clients are starting to show up at the
house at night causing Carissa to feel scared in her own home; and
to top it all off, Carissa's boss informs her that she's been "let
go." She wonders where God is in all of this since He doesn't seem
to be around to protect her--and she's already stopped trusting her
husband.
In the midst of her world tilting off center, she's offered time at
a hideaway on Maui. Hiding seems like the best way to respond to
life's overload, and the thought of being alone sounds like just
the right balm to soothe her wounded heart.
The languid Hawaiian sun, white beaches, and warm-hearted people
bring respite, but meeting handsome Kai causes Carissa to toy with
the idea of being romantically involved with him. Then, under a
Maui moon, she looks to God for guidance and hope for the future.
That's when she discovers His hand still is on her life, and that
love is closer than she ever realized.
