Posted on 01 November 2017 by Irene Hannon

After tragedy upends her world, Jeannette Mason retreats to the tiny Oregon seaside town of Hope Harbor to create a new life Vowing to avoid emotional attachments, she focuses on running her lavender farm and tea room until a new neighbor with a destructive dog and a forlorn little girl invades her turf But she needn t worry Dr Logan West is too busy coping with an unexpected family, a radical lifestyle change, and an unruly pup to have any interest in his aloof and disagreeable neighbor.Yet when both Jeanette and Logan find themselves pulled into the life of a tattered Christian family fleeing persecution in war torn Syria, might they discover that love sometimes comes calling when it s least expected Bestselling and award winning author Irene Hannon invites readers back to the charming seaside town of Hope Harbor, where they are sure to find peace, healing, and a second chance at happiness.
