Publisher Description
Tracy Campbell never wanted to leave Hope Harbor, Oregon, or the idyllic three-generation cranberry farm where she grew up. But life--and love--altered her plans. When tragedy strikes and changes her plans yet again, she finds herself back in her hometown with a floundering farm to run and a heartbreaking secret. Romance is not on her agenda. Nor is it on Michael Hunter's. The visitor from Chicago has daunting secrets of his own. But when Tracy recruits him to help save a struggling charitable organization, the winds of change begin to sweep through Hope Harbor, bringing healing, hope, and love to countless lives--including their own.
Fan favorite Irene Hannon brings a whole new cast of characters to life in a charming Oregon seaside village. Emotional and heartwarming, this story invites readers to come home to Hope Harbor, where love and hope bloom--and hearts heal.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this tender inspirational contemporary romance, Hannon delves into the messiness of loss and the power of forgiveness, including forgiving oneself. Michael Hunter, battling guilt and regret after the death of his wife, heads to Hope Harbor, Ore., for a two month sabbatical from the Chicago non-profit he runs. On his first day in town, Michael collides literally with Tracy Campbell, a female version of himself. Tracy leads a service organization and relates to Michael's feelings of remorse and culpability, having grappled with similar emotions after the recent death of her husband. Despite an obvious mutual attraction, neither is ready for romance. Circumstances, and a bit of planning, continue to bring the two together and hope begins to emerge, along with renewed faith that God can redeem broken lives. Hannon fleshes out the story with a strong supporting cast, including Tracy's Uncle Bud, who helps run the cranberry farm she loves; Anna, the town hermit, who opens her home to Michael; and Charley, a philosophical taco maker. All add to the small town ambience of Hope Harbor, a place of emotional restoration that readers will yearn to visit.
