A novel by Valerie Comer
Move across the country? Check.
Help a friend open a new inn? Check.
Make room in her life for gratitude and new love? Not. A. Chance.
Accomplished chef Pamela Whorley has arrived in Jewel Lake, Montana, and here she’ll stay for the next three months, hanging out with her college bestie and other friends of that era, then move on again. Alone, no matter how the sole guest at the inn tempts her heart to reawaken.
Granger Durand has plenty of regrets, starting with putting his military career ahead of his infant daughter. Fighting militants was easier than fighting his ex, but now his grown-up daughter seems ready to accept a relationship with him… on her terms. Which is why he’s staying at the Maranatha Inn, an arrangement that seems perfect until the new chef, a beautiful widow, refuses to be friends.
Granger’s two grandkids force a reluctant Pam to face memories of her own lost family, and his humble gratitude for new opportunities might encourage her to reacquaint herself with her fractured faith. But being thankful for everything that’s happened and opening up about it to her friends — not to mention Granger — might be asking too much.
This series by a 2x USA Today bestselling author explores the themes of gratitude, hope, love, joy, peace, and the Gift of Christmas in a collection featuring seasoned characters in their fifties.
