#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie
Macomber has written an emotionally stirring novel that
shows how sometimes a choice can seem wrong even though itβs
absolutely right.
If not for her loving but controlling parents, Beth
Prudhomme might never have taken charge of her life and
moved from her native Chicago to Portland, Oregon, where
sheβs reconnected with her spirited Aunt Sunshine and found
a job as a high school music teacher. If not for her friend
Nichole, Beth would never have met Sam Carney, although
first impressions have left Beth with serious doubts. Sam is
everything Beth is notβand her parentsβ worst nightmare: a
tattooed auto mechanic whoβs rough around the edges.
Reserved and smart as a whip, Beth isnβt exactly Samβs usual
beer-drinking, pool-playing type of woman, either.
But if not for an awkward setup one evening, Beth might
never have left early and been involved in a car crash. And
if not for Samβwho witnessed the terrifying ordeal, rushed
to her aid, and stayed with her until help arrivedβBeth
might have been all alone, or worse. Yet as events play out,
Sam feels compelled to check on Beth almost daily at the
hospitalβeven bringing his guitar to play songs to lift her
spirits. Soon their unlikely friendship evolves into an
intense attraction that surprises them both.
Before long, Bethβs strong-willed mother, Ellie, blows into
town spouting harsh opinions, especially about Sam, and
reopening old wounds with Sunshine. When shocking secrets
from Samβs past are revealed, Beth struggles to reconcile
her feelings. But when Beth goes a step too far, she risks
losing the man and the life sheβs come to love.
