Two years ago, Glory Harrison lost everything, including her husband and unborn child, in a tragic fire. Afterwards, Glory left Dawson, Tennessee, hoping to never look back. She makes her home in Minnesota and begins to heal her broken life. Glory has one connection remaining of Dawson, her dear grandmother Tula. While having a lovely conversation with her grandmother, Glory discovers that Tula is suffering from macular degeneration and is having difficulty living on her own. Glory is compelled to return home to take care of her grandmother. While Gran Tula is thrilled to have Glory home, she has no interest in giving up her independence and folding up her life. Gran Tula is a part-time caregiver for local fire-chief Eric Wilson's son, Scott, a lovely child who has some difficulties with his language and motor skills. Eric fears that Scott is autistic and relies on Tula and her nurturing nature. Through Scott, Tula remains connected to the world and feels she's really making a difference.

Glory has her own connections to Eric Wilson. He's the fireman who saved her life from the fire. Still not fully recovered from the trauma, Glory has very little memory of the events. She does, however, have a strong reaction to Eric when she meets him again and has flashbacks of that night. The memories don't make sense and she must work with Eric to figure out exactly what happened.

As Glory and Eric's relationship begins to take shape, Glory finds herself stalked by a would-be killer who asserts that she was the one who started the fire that killed her husband. With few actual memories of the events, Glory is alarmed at the implications but can't believe she'd have ever put her unborn child in danger, much less herself and husband. The stalker becomes emboldened enough to attempt another fire that puts Eric's son, Gran Tula and Glory in jeopardy. Finally, Glory begins to put her memories back together and determines who's after her and exactly who started the original fire.

ON BLUE FALLS POND weaves a warm and inviting love story with a compelling family suspense. Glory is a strong, loving granddaughter who's haunted by her past and strives to put her life together. Readers will yearn for Eric and Glory to succeed not only in love, but also in figuring out who started the fire.
