When empty nester Mallory Farrell inherits her grandmother's run-down tourist shop in Seaport, Oregon, it seems the only sensible thing to do is to sell it. But when her former secret crush, Grayson Matthews, wants to buy the property in order to complete his plans to redevelop the funky town's business district into a soulless, cookie-cutter outdoor mall, Mallory digs in her heels and decides to renovate the property herself. With a lot of hard work and a little bit of help, Mallory makes incredible progress turning the store into an eclectic home décor shop called Romancing the Home.

This is an Amazing Book!!!
This book is so so good if you like a little romance! It’s about the Bravery of a woman during WW2. Even though it’s historical fiction, I think that the author captured the importance of friendships and trust and the fact that the color of your skin doesn’t matter in order to make a best friend!
