Hilltops Clear

Prudence Schuyler is determined to start anew, leaving heartbreak behind by embracing life on the rugged Maine coast. With her ailing brother in tow, she transforms her land into a working farm, raising chickens, canning vegetables, and crafting custom jewelry. But Prue’s quiet resolve is soon disrupted by two very different suitors: the wealthy and charismatic Rodney Gerard and the steadfast Len Calloway. Their rivalry extends beyond romance, as both men vie for the valuable timber on her land, forcing Prue to balance her dreams with the harsh realities of survival.

Set against the backdrop of Maine’s stark beauty, Hilltops Clear captures the spirit of resilience during the Great Depression. Emilie Loring’s vivid storytelling transports readers to holiday parties adorned with glittering gowns, sunken gardens, and festive surprises—including a kitten’s bespoke silver collar. At its heart, this novel is a testament to courage, faith, and the enduring hope that shines brightest during the holidays. Perfect for cozy nights by the fire, it’s a timeless tale of love, determination, and the joy of finding one’s way home.
