Reeling from a painful divorce, Kerris Wells starts over in tiny Smoke River, Ontario, in a ramshackle house left to her by an anonymous benefactor. As she rebuilds the home, she befriends a wandering ten-year-old boy, warms to a kind single-dad biology teacher, and slowly uncovers the truth about the anonymous benefactor. A tender, humorous story about second chances, forgiveness, and finding where you truly belong. A house left by a mysterious benefactor—and a family secret that slowly unravels. A strong, capable heroine who renovates houses for a living rebuilds her own broken life alongside a fixer-upper home. A tender single-dad romance with one of the most charming, spunky kid characters you'll meet. A conversion story that shows why one woman chose faith 'because of family'—the doctrine of eternal families made personal. “Either you have to change your life, which can be painful, or you have to live a lie.” Perfect for anyone who loves clean, character-driven romance about starting over, family reconciliation, and quiet faith journeys.
