edit data

Retired from the post office, Liz Flaherty spends non-writing time sewing, quilting, and doing whatever else she wants to. She and her husband Duane live in the old farmhouse in North Central Indiana they moved to in 1977. They’ve talked about moving, but really…40-plus years’ worth of stuff? It’s not happening. It would require removing old baseball trophies from the attic and dusting the pictures of the Magnificent Seven, their grandchildren.
Liz thinks one of the things that keeps you young when you quite obviously aren’t anymore is the constant chances you have to reinvent yourself.

I loved this story from Cathy Shouse's warmhearted Fair Oaks series. Finn and Clint both enter the story with pasts and new beginnings; they just didn't expect their first meeting to be such a Big Deal. Their attraction is real from the start, but th ...more

A sweet story I loved Hazel’s story. And Kit is a sweetheart of a hero. I liked that Hazel was a real lady, but gutsy and “prickly” at the same time.
