Publisher's summary

When the ever-cautious Val Locklier moves cross-country with her son for a secure job, everything she’d planned unravels within the first week. After Val reluctantly agrees to rent an apartment from her best friend’s brother, an unexpected chance at an elite filmmakers’ mentorship ignites fresh hope for a dream career. But as Val’s community begins to expand, so do her insecurities, especially those heightened by her growing attraction to a certain friendly landlord.

Pastor Miles McKenzie returns home from a short-term mission trip to discover that not only does he have an intriguing new tenant living upstairs he’s also been reassigned to a local ministry on life support. Disillusioned and restless, he distracts himself by throwing his energy into a host of new projects—not the least of which is pursuing Val—without stopping to consider the future.

As Val struggles to stop hiding behind the camera and Miles wrestles with shattered expectations, they’ll find that authentic love and sacrifice must go hand in hand.

Loved it!

I have really enjoyed every book I have read from this author. I like the depth and how you can see God growing them into the people they were meant to be and helping other people in the same process.

Having read the previous book about Molly, it was fun to see characters from the last book ; it was like seeing old friends from a different POV.

Magnificent

I enjoyed the first book in this series…a lot… but this one was so much better. Nicole Deese has a God given talent that allows her to minister to one’s soul through her stories. And these narrators helped. So many times a narrator will distract from a story, but these enhanced it’s impact. Good job.

Excellent sequel

I really enjoyed both books in this series. Such a sweet, clean love story and a powerful example of how God can make beauty from ashes.

For the Lifetime movies fans

You know how Lifetime movies are dramatic and predictable? It’s a really good story, but the last hour was too dramatic and predictable for me.
