BACK COVER TEXT:
Love can heal even the deepest scars …

After seven years with no clue as to the whereabouts of Ann Ballard’s missing husband, nearly everyone presumes him dead. Now forty-something, Ann is ready for her stagnant life to flow again. Then one day, a dark-haired younger man from her past shows up on her doorstep offering a river of hope in place of tears.

Former neighbor Mark Roth has secretly loved Ann for years. A respected attorney, he’s returned home to help Ann face down disapproving family members and the legal maneuvering of her likely deceased husband’s family—while quietly winning her heart.

When the hidden truth of Ann’s situation turns their lives on end and another tragedy strikes, the two must come to terms with family, faith and the depths to which true love can run.

Book Takeaway:

Who is your family? Does being Christian always mean telling the truth - no matter what? Let's explore society values of relationships between younger men and older women.

Why the author wrote this book:

I like to read relevant stories about people in unusual relationships. I wanted to explore a younger man in love with an older woman who helped shape him, without the unsavory connotations.
