A temporary job assignment in a small town. A family in need and a compelling, kind-hearted man. Will Ani be able to leave when the time comes?

When Ani Nazaryan's job as sponsorship facilitator brings her to Aveline to assist four refugee families, she knows she must keep her heart unattached or risk heartbreak when it is time to move away. But she couldn't have foreseen the big changes in the program, the beauty of the town, or the connection she would feel to one of the sponsors.

Daniel Wright was wrongly suspected of a crime ten years ago. Ever since then, he has spent his life working at the post office, keeping his head down, and trying to avoid confrontation. When a confession from a friend clears his name for good, he must decide what life will be for him now. As he begins to work alongside Ani, he sees possibilities he thought were beyond him forever. Will he have the bravery to try a new life? And will he finally gain a family?

Note from the author:

I have always loved romance, and I think love stories are so beautiful. I also love the picture of the small town as a kind of landscape for a community. I wanted to write something that reflected the kinds of people I have known all my life. So that is why I wrote about Aveline, a small town that is like the life I have known.

Community, brokenness, kindness, and the kingdom of God in action. Isn't it amazing, how vulnerable we all are? And then we offer food and friendship in the context of houses and cafés and forests... we extend our hands to one another and become family.
