For those who give comfort to others who need it

Sarah Bullard Miller returns to Lilac Lake with her four-year-old twin daughters following the death of her husband. She's always been part of the group of summer kids playing together with the granddaughters of the woman who owned the Lilac Lake Inn, and she loves renewing those friendships. Keeping busy working at her parents' hardware store and taking care of the girls, she begins the healing process following her husband's violent death.

Aaron Collister was Sarah's high school boyfriend. They connected with their sensitivity to nature and poetry, which might have seemed strange unless you knew that big, tough Aaron was part Abenaki Indian and had been given many life lessons by his mother. They renew their friendship, but neither is ready to commit to more until a crisis leads them to their answer.

This is a spinoff book from the Lilac Lake Inn series, a sweet second-chance, small-town romance. Another of Judith Keim's books with strong women facing challenges and finding love and happiness along the way.
