REBUILDING HER LIFE
Faced with a decades-old mistake, can she find forgiveness?
After a fire devastates her hometown, Dr. Jess Bristol returns to save her mother's clinic - and comes face to face with her high school sweetheart. Over twenty years ago, Jess helped put Shane Stone in jail...and later learned he was innocent. Now they must work together to restore their town. Though Shane has put his past behind, can the single father forgive the woman he once loved?
A Kendrick Creek Romance
My Review:
So much to love about this contemporary romance with lots of heart, even if it's left me feeling a tad bruised and battle weary by the end. :-) But love stories that read like real life, brimming with all the tumultuous emotions that come with that is exactly what Herne excels at. This one packs the dreaded two-punch combo -- the poignant jab of past regrets followed by the sharp cross of reconnected faith. And that makes Rebuilding Her Life a stunner!
This is the first book in the new Kendrick Creek series which is set in a struggling Tennessee mountain community that has been devastated by a fire. Jess comes home to assist during the restoration process and finds herself along the way.
I love the parallels between rebuilding a town and rebuilding hearts. Solid faith threads of forgiveness and sacrifice and trusting God with each moment are deeply woven throughout. And, as with all Herne's timeless stories, there are cute kids, sage elders and the perfect mix of tears and laughter. Along with enough stumbling blocks to make a happily-ever-after seem impossible. Riveting to the very last word.
