Allison Vaughn returns to Alpine, Utah, the one town her fraudster father wouldn't dare show his face, to raise her teenage brother and sister after their mother's death and father's imprisonment. Branded by the Vaughn name, she braces for rejection—but finds unexpected friends, adoptive grandparents, and her long-ago crush, now-wealthy Will Carson. As she battles the town's suspicion, her own fear of trust, and her father's return, Allison learns that a broken family chain can be forged anew through faith and love. A Cinderella-style second-chance romance: the former rich girl falls for the once-poor farm boy who's now the town's wealthiest bachelor. Timely, real-world stakes—identity theft by a con-artist father—give this clean romance genuine tension. A powerful message about forgiveness and choosing who you become, regardless of your family's sins. Warm 'found family' comfort read: adoptive grandparents, meddling friends, and a scrappy heroine building a life from scratch. “I am a child of God, and he has sent me here, has given me an earthly home, with parents kind of weird .”Perfect for an adult LDS woman who loves clean, faith-affirming romance about strong heroines overcoming family hardship, in the vein of Rachel Ann Nunes or Anita Stansfield.
