It has a sweet romance woven through and an undercurrent of faith for hope." - Kindle Customer ★★★★★ "Jessie writes about imperfect people making less than ideal decisions-so basically any one of us. She helps us see how those decisions make sense to the characters and gives us such empathy and caring. She doesn't excuse the wrong choices or downplay the consequences, but she shows how they can be redeemed and turn their lives around. This is Jessie at her best, telling a story that pulls you in and makes you forget the rest of your life, while lovingly planting seeds of goodness and redemption." - Wren ★★★★★ "This is a delightful book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I love the way Jessie brings God's guidance and His forgiveness into the story. As you read the book you can't help but love the characters. If you like a good cozy romance, you will enjoy this book. You just can't go wrong with a Jessie Gussman book!" - jill ★★★★★ "The characters really made this story, especially Leiklyn and Ethan, who had carried a tremendous secret between them that broke up their friendship in high school. I enjoyed watching them open up to each other and to try to overcome and move on together from the past." - lori Books in the Blueberry Beach series: Yesterday's Treasures Tomorrow's Blessings Beautiful Forevers Precious Memories Misty Mornings Sweet Afternoons
