Where Hearts Heal (Laurel Ridge Series Book 14) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781966093312)

When a widow's broken sink leads to a mended heart, two souls discover that love doesn't replace the past-it redeems it.

In the golden glow of an Appalachian autumn, widowed librarian Megan Miller never imagined that a simple plumbing disaster would change everything. But when her kitchen catastrophe sends her rushing to Earl's Hardware, she comes face-to-face with Matt Smith-her late husband's best friend and fellow Marine, now a man whose quiet strength and gentle hands can fix more than just broken pipes.

Seven years after losing the love of her life, Megan has built a safe, predictable world around her daughter Lauren and her work at Laurel Ridge's library. Matt has just returned from twelve years of military service, carrying invisible wounds of survivor's guilt and searching for purpose in civilian life.

What happens when honoring the past collides with embracing the future?

Through the warm embrace of their small-town community and the meaningful work of their church's Hands of Grace Ministry, Megan and Matt discover that some connections transcend time and tragedy. But as the anniversary of David's death approaches, they must choose between cherishing what was and claiming what could be.
