When Maggie Anderson is carjacked, instead of a terror-filled ride, she finds herself facing a new future. One far removed from her abusive boyfriend, Kevin. The years of torment can be ended if she decides to just disappear. Reacting to a still small voice, she heads west. Anywhere west. And ends up in the small town of Clayton, Kansas.
Maggie has to redefine herself—with lies. Fear of the past, of Kevin finding her once again, drives her to use an assumed name when she checks in to the local inn. She is certainly not prepared for the warm welcome she receives from the proprietor, Wren. Instead of questions, she gets kindnesses. And an introduction to the carpenter remodeling the kitchen.
Trevor Ashlock’s hammer and saw are stilled when he meets this beautiful stranger. Heartbroken after losing the love of his life, Trevor hasn’t sought a new relationship. Now it seems God has placed Maggie in his path. Is he ready to be vulnerable again?
Deborah Raney’s pure, lyrical voice rings clearly in this second-chance-at-life novel. The Kansas canvas is painted with light and love. Truly a romantic book.
