Turning A New Leaf

Can two guard-up hearts find common ground when God rewrites their plans?

Lauren Fisher loves her quiet life in Oak Haven. As a dedicated local leader, her days are filled with serving her community, relying on her tight-knit family, and keeping her faith at the center of everything she does. She has no time for outside disruptions—especially not in the form of a big-city municipal planner sent to overhaul her beloved hometown.

Henton Knowles lived for deadlines, high-rise office views, and corporate success in Chicago. But when a new assignment brings him to the scenic mountain valley of Oak Haven, he expects a quick, routine job. He doesn't expect a stubborn, dark-eyed local leader who challenges his blueprints, guards her town fiercely, and lives out a quiet, vibrant faith that cuts straight to his weary heart.

Forced to collaborate on Oak Haven's iconic Fall Festival, Lauren and Henton initial professional friction slow-burns into something much deeper. As seasonal lanterns light up the town square and family dinners soften old defenses, Henton begins to realize that the life he built in the city was missing a foundation—and Lauren starts to wonder if opening her heart to love is worth the risk.

Set against the warm, atmospheric backdrop of crisp autumn leaves, small-town traditions, and unwavering faith, Turning a New Leaf is a reverent, slow-burn Christian romance about stepping into God's timing, finding home where you least expect it, and learning that some beginnings are designed to last a lifetime.
