by Ann Tatlock
When Elizabeth Gunnar accepts a teaching position at the preparatory school she attended as a girl, she is returning to more than a place--to memories, mysteries, and an old love. Once there she meets unexpected challenges--and challenging new people. She revisits ghosts of the past and old self-doubts. And through it all, God somehow takes four broken people and forms a new, complete family.
"The dialogue is snappy, and Tatlock's prose is charming ...overall, Tatlock's produced a winner and the ending offers a good setup for a sequel." - PW.
"Her prose is graceful and unselfconscious with just the right amount of imagery to make it memorable...." Violet Nesdoly, blogcritics.org.
"Believable characters and original dialogue keep the story moving and compelling. Christian ideas are openly folded into the mix without sermonizing." - armchairinterviews.com.
