Beschrijving uitgever
When life throws you off pointe, love helps you find your balance.
As a principal dancer with a prestigious New York ballet company, Devyn Lee is far from her hometown of Hope Harbor on the Oregon coast. But when a family emergency compels her to return, her visit turns into an extended stay after complications arise.
Widowed mill worker Aaron Steele pays no attention to the buzz in Hope Harbor about the famous dancer in town. Until his grieving nine-year-old daughter takes a fancy to Devyn after she agrees to help with a fundraising show for a local charity in which the young girl is performing. As the show--and Devyn--begin to lift his daughter's spirits, his own life is brightened by the beautiful ballerina as she slowly but surely captures his heart.
But what are the odds that such an accomplished, polished woman from the city could ever fall for a small-town lumberman with two left feet?
Come home to Hope Harbor--where hearts heal . . . and love blooms.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hannon returns to coastal Oregon for the sweet latest in her Hope Harbor series (after Sunrise Reef). Devyn Lee left Hope Harbor for New York City as a teen to pursue her ballet dreams. Almost 20 years later, she receives word that her estranged older sister, Lauren, is in a coma following a car accident, and rushes home to be by her side. Though the two haven't spoken in 13 years, Devyn stays in town to help her sister recover after she wakes up. As the pair work to repair a rocky relationship fractured by childhood jealousies—including over the financial sacrifices their parents made to support Devyn's ballet dreams—Devyn becomes enmeshed in the goings-on of the small town, choreographing a local dance show and meeting attractive widower Aaron Steele. As the date of Devyn's planned return to New York approaches, she looks to God for help weighing her professional ambitions against her desire to strengthen her family bonds and pursue a romance with Aaron. Hannon excels at depicting the fraught yet loving bond between the sisters, while cameos from Hope Harbor series characters, like the funny but wise Rev. Baker, add texture and humor. Fans and newcomers alike will be swept up.
