When her carefully ordered life is shaken, the path forward requires finding the courage to trust again.
Helen Stenerson has planted her roots in the community of Green Creek, Iowa, and poured her heart into teaching. She's determined to avoid romantic entanglement--her teaching contract forbids it, and a broken engagement has taught her the dangers of opening her heart. But thoughtful seminary student Ødger Gunderson begins to weaken her resolve with his genuine interest.

When an urgent letter from Ohio is delivered to Helen, the quiet life she's built is shattered. The letter brings news of her aunt's failing health, and when Helen rushes back to be with her, her aunt reveals secrets about Helen's past that upset everything Helen thought she knew. Returning to Green Creek with more questions than answers, can Helen embrace love and the path God has for her?

This heartwarming Christian historical romance from Lauraine Snelling and Kiersti Giron transports readers to small-town Iowa, exploring themes of healing, second chances, faith, family, love, community, and new beginnings.
