Between the Shady Groves (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798893821529)

Feeling lost and abandoned after a miscarriage and losing her mother, Lauren escapes to the quaint lakeside village of Raspberry Ridge, desperate to piece her life back together.

Twelve years earlier, she'd married and left her hometown and her family's small bakery behind. Now, heartbroken and feeling more alone than she ever had in her life, she hopes the simplicity of her hometown and opening the bakery that held so many percious memories can offer the healing she so desperately needs.

As Lauren takes up her mother's legacy, baking pastries and serving coffee to friendly locals, she slowly finds a sense of belonging again. Her friendship with Matteo, the charming bookstore owner next door, is a balm to her soul. But Lauren's newfound peace is shattered when her husband arrives, pleading for forgiveness and complicating the fragile happiness she's begun to build.

As secrets unravel and old wounds resurface, Lauren must confront the painful truth of why she left-and finally face the truth about herself. She learns that true happiness lies not in escaping the past, but is a deliberate choice. And embracing love and family, might give her the courage to trust her heart again.
