Favored Circumstances

HollyAnna Hutchins is mortified to learn that the coworker who has been showering her with attention is engaged. With wounded pride, she flees to her parents' home in rural North Carolina to house-sit for a few weeks. Surrounded by nature, childhood memories, and a brood of baby birds, she can finally relax and concentrate on things other than her sleazeball coworker. That is, until an unwanted visitor shows up at her parents' home. 

While fending off a literal snake and saving the nest of baby birds, HollyAnna falls into the arms of clever, handsome land surveyor, Aaron Brimmer. After her last experience with an "interested" man, though, she's not willing to waste her time. Instead, she's going to enjoy the peace and quiet and tackle the one task her mother gave her—drop off a donation to the once place HollyAnna hasn't gone in far too long: church.  

Finding fellowship she didn't know was missing from her life, HollyAnna meets a sweet little boy in need of a family, is reunited with her childhood best friend, and falls in love with Aaron. Along the way, she not only learns that God's plans for her life are beyond her wildest dreams, but that taking a leap of faith is the best way to live.
