He lost his brother. She lost her dream. Together, they might find what they’re really looking for.
Holly Stanford is doing the best she can with the restaurant she inherited from her late uncle. But after her fiancé abandons her and the business, Holly regrets having given up her dream of becoming a pastry chef. Now a few bad financial decisions might cost her everything, including her hope for the future.
Jed Henning has done well with his new company despite his prodigal brother’s behavior. When Jed‘s father, the controlling member of the board of directors, temporarily suspends operations until his sons work out their differences, Jed resentfully chases his brother, Chris, to Boise. There Jed rents a basement apartment from Holly and hopes to convince Chris to get his act together before their company collapses.
Unaware that Holly is the one person who can help him get through to Chris, Jed starts the tough work of reconciliation armed with little more than a few family photographs, a stack of old letters, and a Bible that belonged to his great-grandfather, Andrew Henning. And as romance blossoms between Holly and Jed, the story of Jed’s great-grandfather highlights the power of God across the generations and the legacy of a family’s courageous faith.

This is a first for me from this author and I really liked this story. I am happy I can go back to read the other books in this series too.
This story starts out in the present with Jed Henning trying to figure out how to get his younger brother Chris to talk to him and how they can get back to being brothers. Instead of always fighting. When Jed goes to visit cousins, he is given old family photos, letters, and his great-grandfather’s Bible. As with most Bibles, there are notes, passages marked, and anything Andrew (his great grandfather) would want to find easily. Jed learns a lot from reading those passages and looking at those old photos and letters. It is about finding himself and learning to trust in himself, and his brother. There is a lot to love about this story, I especially love the time going back to visit with Andrew and Helen, in this book the time is 1969-1970 and it is bittersweet.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
