Mitch, a contractor and house-flipper, is restoring a beautiful old house in an idyllic Midwestern neighborhood. Angela, a woman filled with regrets and recently transplanted to his area, is anything but idyllic. She's almost his worst nightmare, and she's also working on restoring something herself. As he struggles to keep his business afloat and she works to overcome mistakes of her past, these two unlikely friends soon discover they have something unexpected in common, a young mom who is fighting to give her children a better life after her husband's incarceration. While both Mitch and Angela are drawn to help this young mother survive, they also find themselves drawn to each other. Will a lifetime of regrets hold them back or unite them and bring redemption along with true love?

Here is what I thought........
I love Jennifer's books. She has a way of writing that makes you want to keep turning the pages but also overwhelms your heart to where you aren't sure if you could handle it. She writes about things that are very really and true to life. No fluffy or unrealistic stuff happening in her books. I said it in the last review I did for her but I'll say it again she has a Karen Kingsbury feel to her, but I think Jennifer might be even more hard hitting when it comes to real life circumstances. I really like how she can use real life situations to show the power of grace and the gospel and how it can change people. I would recommend Jennifer's books to anyone who needs some real hard core grace knowledge in the books they are reading. I feel like Jennifer's books would be an excellent witnessing tool. I will always read Jennifer's books anytime I have the chance. I highly recommend Jennifer's books. I received this book from the author for free. A positive review was not required. All opinions are my own.
