New York Occasions bestselling author Linda Goodnight welcomes you to Honey Ridge, Tennessee, and a residence that’s wealthy with secrets and brimming with sweet possibilities

Recollections of motherhood and marriage are fresh for Julia Presley-though tragedy took away both years ago. Finding ease and comfort in the routine of running the Peach Orchard Inn, she let us the historic, strange place fill the voids of like and family. No more pleasure of a man’s mild kiss. Forget about joy in hearing a child call her about The Memory House Mommy. Life is relaxed, unchanging…until a stranger with a young youngster and soul-deep secrets shows up in her Tennessee city and disrupts the loneliness of her globe.

Julia suspects there’s more to Eli Donovan’s former than his motherless child, Alex. There’s a reason he’s chasing redemption and bent on gaining it with a new from Honey Ridge. Supplying the guarded man function renovating the inn, she glimpses somebody who-like her-has a center in need of repair. But with the chance discovery of a dusty stack of love characters buried within the lining of a vintage trunk, the long-dead ghosts of the Civil War love envelop Julia and Eli, hooking up these to the inn’s violent background and demanding them both to risk facing yesterday’s darkness for another bright with wish and healing.
