Publisher Description
From Sarah M. Eden, the USA Today Bestselling author of the Longing for Home series, LOVE REMAINS is a new romance novel set in the beloved world of Hope Springs.
For nearly a year, Tavish O’Connor has carried the crushing weight of his family’s future on his shoulders. He has taken on the care of his youngest brother, Finbarr, who lost his eyesight in a terrible accident. But the lad needs more than Tavish can provide. Finbarr needs hope.
Cecily Attwater specializes in hope. As a tutor to the newly blind, she has dedicated her life to helping others overcome the obstacles she herself has conquered. Her new assignment in a remote corner of Wyoming proves trickier than usual: Finbarr refuses to learn. To make matters worse, his family—and the other Irish townspeople—are less than thrilled to discover an Englishwoman in their haven.
Cecily’s only hope lies in securing the cooperation of her pupil’s brother, Tavish, who happens to be her harshest critic and quite possibly the most frustrating man she’s ever known.
For Finbarr’s sake, Tavish and Cecily forge an uneasy alliance that, as the weeks pass, tiptoes toward something deeper than either dares admit or face, and toward a future they know to be impossible. There can be no hope of a happy outcome for an Irish man and an English woman amongst a people reeling from violence and centuries of hatred between their two homelands.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Eden's third entry in her Longing for Home series (after Hope Springs) revisits the frontier town of Hope Springs, Wyo., in 1871 as a nearly blind Englishwoman falls for the brother of her latest student. Cecily Attwater, who is gradually losing her eyesight due to a progressive illness, travels across America assisting those with diminished vision. Her latest assignment is to help Finbarr O'Connor, a young man who was blinded in a fire. Finbarr is incredibly resistant to her offer of assistance, and his older brother Tavish and many other members of their Irish community dislike Cecily because she is English. Tension between Cecily and Finbarr spurs the novel forward, and the emotional moments shared between them are one of the novel's primary strengths. Readers who enjoy romances with greater depth of feeling and less detailed love scenes will likely fall for this book.
Customer Reviews
Beautifully Told
I don’t usually write reviews for all the books I read, but I couldn’t pass it up on this one. The author so wonderfully tells the story that you feel the emotions of the characters. I cried no less than three times while reading this, possibly more. It is not often I cry while I read. But the tears do not make it a sad tale, but rather a tale of honesty. I cried in their hurts and also in their triumphs.
Not only will I be reading this book again, but I can’t wait to read more of this author’s work.
Love Remains
Wonderfully inspirational. Gives great encouragement especially to those of us who are disabled and/ or impaired.
Love Remains
This is one of my new favorite books. It is so beautifully written, I couldn’t put it down! I was in tears at times, because the characters are so real and I kept hoping for a happy outcome, after all the sadness in their lives. I gave the book 5 stars because it’s a “must read”. Enjoy!
