Book description: "A three-year-old son, a struggling cafe, and fading memories are all Robin Price has left of her late husband. As the proud owner of Willow Tree Cafe in small town Peaks, Iowa, she pours her heart into every muffin she bakes and espresso she pulls, thankful for the sense of purpose and community the work provides.
So when developer Ian McKay shows up in Peaks with plans to build condos where her cafe and a vital town ministry are located, she isn't about to let go without a fight.
As stubborn as he is handsome, Ian won't give up easily. His family's business depends on his success in Peaks. But as Ian pushes to seal the deal, he wonders if he has met his match. Robin's gracious spirit threatens to undo his resolve, especially when he discovers the beautiful widow harbors a grief that resonates with his own.
With polarized opinions forming all over town, business becomes unavoidably personal, and Robin and Ian must decide whether to cling to the familiar or surrender their plans to the God of second chances."
My review: Once again, Katie Ganshert has written a story that is real with characters that are believable. The reader is able to enter into the lives of Robin and her son and experience what they are feeling. Robin is a strong character with strengths and weaknesses that make her real. Her struggles will make you sympathize with her and want to try and find some way to help. Ian is the kind of character that you love one minute and hate the next. The reader is left with mixed emotions about him; however, Mrs. Ganshert was able to write the story in such a way that although the outcome was not really predictable, it was satisfactory in the end. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by this author. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Waterbrook Press in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
