Opis

A modern retelling of the Old Testament story of Ruth-a sweet romance about courage, loyalty, and second chances.When Julia passes through the small town of Coldwater, driving her screeching pickup with her mother-in-law and everything she owns in the RV they're towing, all she wants is to get Helen settled on what's left of the family farm and hurry back to civilization.Julia's still mourning her husband, and so romance is the last thing on her mind. But whenever Neil Ashe shows up, the attraction between them flares-even though his divorce has left him leery of city women, and she's not interested in muscle-bound farmers, no matter how handsome they may be.Julia soon realizes she's going to have to stick around to help Helen hold on to her forty-acres because someone is after them. Besides, how could she leave her mother-in-law to the tender mercies of the legalistic bullies who have taken over Bethel Church? They pick at Helen like Job's "friends," telling her God has cursed her. Why else would her husband and both sons die in tragic accidents?Julia is determined to deal with everything on her own, just as she's been doing ever since Lucas died. But Neil thinks it's his job to make all their problems go away. Will Julia stubbornly go it alone, holding on to both her pride and the memory of her husband, or will she ask Neil to come to the rescue-and into her heart?What readers are saying. . ."A fun read with characters that will pull at your heart, challenge your prejudices and renew your love for the land." LeAnne Hardy, author of the Glastonbury Grail series.
