    About this ebook

    Does going home mean living with the pastor living down the past?

    The death of teenager Bobby Compton shocked the community of Rivermist, Georgia. It also destroyed the lives of Neal Cain and Jennifer Gardner. Neal was sent to prison, and Jennifer's life spiraled out of control until the birth of her daughter forced her to grow up.

    Now, eight years later, Neal has come home to help his ailing father. Jennifer, a single mother, is also back, trying to make a go of things. Neal and Jennifer were in love when they were teenagers, and those feelings haven't gone away. But they're different people, shaped by everything that's happened. They can't change the past. Can they still have a future?

    Anna DeStefano

    AnnaDeStefano brings to life heartwarming, emotion-packed stories about community, family and second chances. Her award-winning, nationally bestselling small-town romances spotlight family, friendships, and the forgiveness that nurtures her characters’ dreams…as they explore the issues all contemporary family face. Anna’s imagination is forever inspired by our ability to claim an unlimited and exciting future—by first facing and overcoming the setbacks of the past. She’s the author of more than twenty-seven books, including the Echoes of the Heart and the Mimosa Lane novels, all set in Chandlerville, Georgia, and her Atlanta Heroes series. Look for her other titles featuring the reader-favorite Dixon family: Here in My Heart, Let Me Love You Again, His Darling Bride, and Book Three of the Seasons of the Heart series, Love on Mimosa Lane. Born in Charleston, South Carolina, Anna’s lived in the South her entire life. Her background as a care provider and adult educator in the world of crisis and grief recovery lends itself to the deeper psychological themes of every story she writes. A wife and mother, she currently writes in a charming northeast suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, not all that different from her characters’ beloved Chandlerville. She is also a workshop and keynote speaker, a writing coach, and a freelance editor. Get to know Anna at annawrites.com/blog and the Anna DeStefano: Author page on Facebook, where she shares her inspirations, her challenges, a healthy dose of honest optimism, and tidbits about upcoming projects.
