Last year, after traumatic circumstances obligated her from her job as a nanny, Mara Bristol finally discovered a location to belong-the winsome Everwood Bed & Breakfast at the edge of Maple Valley, Iowa. For weeks, she’s helped its owner, Lenora, keep up with the ramshackle property despite their lack of guests. However when Lenora fails to return from a month-long trip and the bank threatens foreclosure, Mara concerns she’s once more alone . abandoned . . . about to eliminate the only true home she’s about Occasionally and Usually ever known.

Detective Marshall Hawkins is certainly no nearer to whole today than he was two years ago . . . your day his child passed away. Between his divorce, incapacitating migraines, and a reliance on medication, his life is usually falling apart. So when a reckless decision face to face propels him into administrative leave, he does not have any other plan but to enter his pickup truck and drive. A one-night stay on the Everwood was supposed to be just that. But there’s something about the outdated house-or maybe its intriguing caretaker-that pulls him in.

Collectively, Mara and Marshall attempt to conserve the Everwood. But its secrets run deeper than they could’ve imagined. As they refurbish the home and seek out its missing owner, they’ll each confront the discomfort that brought these to the Everwood in the first place . . . and just probably discover a faith and love to help them keep on.
