heart-warming

"One only had the preciousness of each sunrise to build their legacy." I didn't realize how much I've missed Heidi Chiavaroli's lyrical voice until I started reading. This is book 7 of the series but can be read as a stand-alone; I have not read the previous books but didn't feel lost. The author does a great job of integrating the history of the Martin family from the past six books into this new plot to make it all seamless. Within the grounds of a beautiful bed and breakfast located in the picturesque Camden, Maine, path to true and lasting forgiveness, hard work of acceptance, and gift of belonging are discovered and shared. It's a heart-warming story that makes me want to go back and read the entire series. I loved Hannah's generous, compassionate, honest first person voice sharing her motherly wisdom and joys of falling in love again. Kevin's down-to-earth and practical personality fit Hannah well and his dedication to his nephew made him a great hero. Hannah and Kevin's faith journeys dove deep and were thought-provoking. And Hannah's large family was such a pleasure to get to know. If you've never read Heidi Chiavaroli's contemporary series, it's time you picked up these books. I received the book from the publisher via JustRead Tours and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.
