Sweet Laurel Falls: 3 (Hope's Crossing)

Product Information

Since the release of the first book, BLACKBERRY SUMMER, in June 2011, I have savored the chance to portray a small town very like my own, a place which has seen challenges and pain—like every community—but which is also filled with people who face those difficulties together with strength and courage. The reality of this loss challenged me to realize the most powerful thoughts of it’s not what I lost, but in fact what I have gained. And since Jesse’s passing, Brendan’s been distracted by his two little ones…and the memory of an explosive kiss with Lucy years before his marriage.

I have heard all the old cliché’s including “there is real power in your story”, I just didn’t think I would be a living breathing testimony to such cliché.

It’s always difficult to make my characters suffer tough things, which makes it even sweeter when I finally have the chance to give them a happy ending. Trust that your story will land on the right ears and sit in the chamber of the right heart to serve as a source of inspiration, a source of discovery, and a source of healing.

It shows the power of a strong family bond that can help to lift people and overcome all difficulties. With Hope’s mysterious Angel doing his work to bring inspiration to the town’s people, Claire and Riley hope that they can open themselves up to love during the coming summer and give a try to all the new possibilities.

He even went as far as gifting a new car to a widow, for whom there was no transportation available, and providing a brand new furnace to a single mother, who was struggling in life.
