Evie Blanchard left Los Angeles after a rough year as an occupational therapist. She moves to Hope's Crossing for a fresh start, and begins working in a bead store, gets a rescue dog named Jacques, and tries to put the sadness behind her. But Brodie, the son of the woman she had befriended, has a request for her - to please help his daughter Taryn recover from an accident. But Evie, who already isn't fond of Brodie, doesn't feel up to helping Taryn, as she is still reeling from her past. Brodie also isn't fond of Evie, but he will do anything for his little girl - offering more money for her to take the job, even ask Evie to move in with them. Will Evie stay to help? And will something begin between Evie and Brodie?
If some of the characters seem familiar to you, it's the follow up to Blackberry Summer. I felt for Taryn in this book - to be a teenager where everything is supposed to be perfect and then it's suddenly yanked from you. I actually found myself wanting to hear the entire story more from Taryn's side. As the back story for why Evie didn't want to be Taryn's OT came out, I felt sad for her too. The book is supposed to be a romance, but yet there's elements of sadness everywhere. The town of Hope's Crossing does live up to it's name in this story - there is hope everywhere, too. I enjoyed this story, and if you are looking for a good book to read right now, add this one to your list.
