A stranger's arrival in a small Southern town stirs up
old secrets and new dreams in this beautiful story full
of hope and haunting mystery, and with the power to win
your heart
Renowned yet private, thriller writer Hayden Winters
lives a life colored by lies. As he is deeply ashamed of
his past, his hunger for an honest relationship and
dreams of starting a family remain unsatisfied, and he
can trust no one with his secrets. He's determined to
outrun his personal demons, but the charming old Peach
Orchard Inn and a woman whose presence is as gentle as a
sparrow's song stops him in his tracks.
Carrie Riley is afraid of everything from flying to
thunderstorms, and pretty much of life itself. But
meeting the enigmatic writer staying at the inn emboldens
her to learn everything about him. When they discover a
vulnerable boy hiding at the inn, Hayden is compelled to
help Carrie protect him. Soon they're led to a centuries-
old mystery that haunts Hayden's sleep, and his only safe
haven is Carrie. As the secrets of the past and present
cause their lives to become entwined, all that's left to
come to light is love—if the grim truth doesn't tear them
apart first.
