Back Cover Description

A Heart, a home... a husband? All her life, the only place that represented the loving home Melanie Visser always yearned for was a stately, gingerbread Victorian in the town she grew up in. Moving back home, Melanie discovers that her dream house is for sale. And though the long-neglected manor needs some loving care, its embittered owner needs God's healing touch-- and Melanie's kindness-- even more. Widowed Adam Engler can't wait to be rid of the crumbling Victorian. Haunting memories lurk in every dusty corner-- including the memory of his young wife's tragic death. But with the help of Melanie and his young daughter, Adam slowly begins to see that the house could be HIS dream home... but only with Melanie by his side...
