Emily Foster has already decided she is not going to stay
in Rochester, Wisconsin, very long. She is here just
to "flip" this house and be on her way to California. She
is not going to make any friends either. She's been here
before, a long time ago when she came with Cara, her best
friend. This house belonged to Cara's grandmother, who left
it to Cara and Emily bought it. It's a part of her plan to
run away from life.
Built in the 1800s, the house is in need of some
renovations. Emily hires contractor Jake Braden to knock
down some walls and refurbish a few things so she can get
it on the market. As she and Jake are exploring the
structure of the house, they discover some hidden doors and
rooms and several treasures in the attic. People say the
house is haunted, but Emily hasn't seen or heard any
ghosts. They do find evidence it may have been a part of
the Underground Railroad.
Part of that evidence is a box of letters, dating back to
1852, when the original owner's daughter wrote to her
beloved about the danger of moving people to safety. Hannah
Shaw and Liam Keegan yearned to be married, but the time
was not right in light of all that was happening. The
letters prompt Emily to research the history of the house
and the families who lived there. Will her findings change
Emily's mind about staying?
Just as this house harbors many secrets, Emily too harbors
secrets. That's why she is running away from life, but Jake
is determined to tear down more than just physical walls in
this house. He wants to tear down the wall that Emily has
built to punish herself for the accident that changed
several lives forever.
TOMORROW'S SUN is the beginning of a new series by Becky
Melby. It is wonderfully written with flashbacks of the
past, a little mystery and a splash of romance. The story
has many wonderful inspirational messages as Emily learns
that God heals and forgives, and she needs to accept that
today and not dwell on what tomorrow may bring. This was a
great read; I'm sure you will enjoy it.
Emily Foster won’t allow herself to move on until she earns enough money to make restitution for the accident that stole a young girl’s dreams. Flipping houses sounds like the fast track to her goal, but when her first project turns out to be a stop on the Underground Railroad, Emily finds herself drawn to, but at odds with, the contractor she hires. Jake Braden needs to focus on gaining guardianship of his late sister’s twins, but the story of lost love uncovered in Emily’s house sets the stage for what might become his own lost love.
