Publisher's summary

After tragedy robs her of everyone she loves, Jeannette Mason retreats to the tiny Oregon seaside town of Hope Harbor to create a new life. Vowing to avoid emotional attachments, she focuses on running her lavender farm and tea-room - until a new neighbor with a destructive dog and a forlorn little girl invades her turf. But she needn't worry. Dr. Logan West is too busy coping with an unexpected family, a radical lifestyle change, and an unruly pup to have any interest in his aloof and disagreeable neighbor.

Yet when both Jeanette and Logan find themselves pulled into the life of a tattered Christian family fleeing persecution in war-torn Syria, might they discover that love sometimes comes calling when it's least expected?

Best-selling and award-winning author Irene Hannon invites listeners back to the charming seaside town of Hope Harbor, where they are sure to find peace, healing, and a second chance at happiness.

Irene Hannon is an excellent author

The only problem I have with it is it all the religious mongering. it should be labeled Christian fiction. I like clean and Moral Stories but that's just too much proselytizing in the way decisions are always religious-based.

People really just don't leave the decisions up to the Lord so much. It just doesn't turn out that well all the time and we would have a real problem if people did that.

Otherwise I really enjoy these stories. They are clean and wholesome and always have a great ending which is why I read sometimes.

Excellent story; Supreme Narration!

The story was very enjoyable with the right amount of description, dialogue, etc. It was very reminiscent of stories by Robyn Carr, but from a bit more socially conservative bent (no sex scenes).

The narrator is the best I’ve ever heard. I LOOK for books narrated by Therese Plummer. She has excellent voices for the different characters... appropriate accents- without being over the top, great children’s voices- without being whiny, a pleasant overall tone that is easy to hear and a perfect cadence- not too slow, not too fast!

Really good

I enjoyed this story so much, especially how all three families were dealing with the same issues. But how differently they were handling it.

Another great book

I love all the Hope Harbor books., and this book is great!! This books has the entire community supporting a Christian Syrian family who lost almost everything due to a terrorist attack in Syria.
All the favorites characters are there. To help.

Sweet and thought-provoking story of love’s benefits outweighing its risks

The creativity of the storyline was refreshing and helpful. Not only do you get a glimpse into what life is like for a refugee settling in a new land, you see some of the joys and challenges of befriending someone with a different culture and language. Along with that, the realistic characters that Irene Hannon developed were a delight to “get to know.” I felt like the story pushed me to consider whether or not I am fully living in love or holding back for fear of the risks. And as always, Therese Plummer’s narration is fantastic!
