Working at the magnificent Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami, Avery Beckett is surrounded daily by beauty and calm. She focuses on the tours and gardens that need her constant attention. The day Jude shows up, on one knee, ring in hand Avery panics. As much as she truly loves him, she has not been honest and should have revealed her secret past long ago. Jude, a handsome widow, father of three and successful surgeon is devastated that Avery does not accept his proposal. After receiving a call that her father is ill, Avery heads back to North Carolina and their family farm. She has not been back in many years, has not spoken to her once beloved sister Willow in all that time.
Avery realizes that to have any sort of happy future she must face the horrific past. Little did she expect Elle, Jude’s surly and difficult teenage daughter, to secretly hitch a ride and upend all of her plans. Battling her own demons, Elle’s outward anger is only masking her pain. Together these women form new bonds that teach them all a lesson about family, both the one you are born into and the one you choose. This beautiful, tender story is filled with love, friendship and hope. I was simple taken away by the stunning descriptions of the mountains and rivers of North Carolina. I even want to try fly fishing! (That’s a first!) Highly recommend this perfect summer read! Release date: May 17, 2022! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
