Through the Dark Night (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798893821536)

More than a decade ago, Shannon fled her seaside hometown, escaping an unimaginable tragedy she never dared speak of again.

Settling across the country, she buried her sorrow beneath the busy demands of motherhood and a successful career. But when her grown children scatter and her marriage collapses, Shannon finds herself alone, haunted by unanswered questions from her past. Impulsively, she returns to Raspberry Ridge-the idyllic village of her youth, filled with memories both sweet and devastating.

As Shannon begins renovations on a rundown inn she bought impulsively, familiar faces resurface, reigniting forgotten friendships-and old wounds. Particularly striking is a reunion with Lance, her first love, who stayed behind to care for his own broken family. Despite initial wariness, their connection swiftly rekindles, reigniting feelings Shannon thought were buried forever. But happiness feels fragile, overshadowed by the weight of a tragedy they both carry silently.

Just as Shannon dares to dream of love again, painful truths resurface, forcing her to confront the mistakes that defined her life. She must finally face what happened all those years ago-or risk losing everything she's begun to build.

Will she find the strength to forgive herself, or will the ghosts of the past destroy any chance of a second chance at love?
