Loving her is a risk he can’t afford . . . and can’t resist.
When acclaimed Bible study author Genevieve Woodward receives an anonymous letter referencing her parents’ past, she returns to her hometown in the Blue Ridge mountains to chase down her family’s secret. However, it’s Genevieve’s own secret that catches up to her when Sam Turner, owner of an historic farm, uncovers the source of shame she’s worked so hard to hide.
Sam has embraced his sorrow, his isolation, and his identity as an outsider. He’s spent years carving out both career success and peace of mind. The last thing he wants is to rent the cottage
on his property to a woman whose struggles stir his worst failure back to life. Yet, can he bear to turn her away right when she needs him most?

My Review:
This is a beautiful story and one of my favorites that I’ve read from Becky Wade. Genevieve needs a break. Her career has left her drained both physically and spiritually. She decides to head home to the Blue Ridge Mountains to regroup. She finds herself an unplanned and unexpected position that forces her to admit that she needs help confronting an addiction. Sam determines that he’s going to help her, even though he’s not that comfortable getting involved.
Here’s what I loved about this book: It’s all about the grace of God and His unfailing love for us. Genevieve is a wonderful, caring person who loves her family and the people in her life, but she’s finding it hard to admit she needs help. It’s a great reminder to us to be there for our friends and support them in their struggles. When we do that, we open up avenues for God to reach them ( and us) in miraculous ways.
Genevieve and Sam’s story is amazing, and I have to admit that I was teary-eyed through part of the book. Don’t miss this one. I love it that this is Book One in the series, and there’s more to come!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
