About the Book



"After a short but difficult marriage, recently widowed Edith Sherman has learned her lesson. Forget love. Forget marriage. She plans to fill her thirties with adventure. As she awaits the final paperwork for a humanitarian trip to South Africa, she accepts a short-term nursing position in a small Midwestern town. The last thing she needs is a handsome local catching her eye. How inconvenient is that? Henry Hobbes isn't exactly thrilled to have Edith, who he assumes is an elderly widow, dumped on him as a houseguest for the summer. But he'd do almost anything for his niece, who is practically like a sister to him given how close they are in age. Especially since Edith will be working nights and Henry works most days. When he and Edith keep missing each other in person, they begin exchanging notes--short messages at first, then longer letters, sharing increasingly personal parts of their lives. By the time Henry realizes his mistake--that Edith is actually the brown-eyed beauty he keeps bumping into around town--their hearts are so entertwined he hopes they never unravel. But with her departure date rapidly approaching, and Henry's roots firmly planted at home, Edith must ultimately decide if the adventure of her dreams is the one right in front of her."--Back cover.



Book Synopsis



He thinks she's an elderly widow. She's convinced he's a grumpy old man. Neither could be further from the truth.

After a short and difficult marriage, recently widowed Edith Sherman has learned her lesson. Forget love. Forget marriage. She plans to fill her thirties with adventure. As she awaits the final paperwork for a humanitarian trip to South Africa, she accepts a short-term nursing position in a small Midwestern town. The last thing she needs is a handsome local catching her eye. How inconvenient is that?

Henry Hobbes isn't exactly thrilled to have Edith, who he assumes is an elderly widow, dumped on him as a houseguest for the summer. But he'd do almost anything for his niece, who is practically like a sister to him given how close they are in age. Especially since Edith will be working nights and Henry works most days. When he and Edith keep missing each other in person, they begin exchanging notes--short messages at first, then longer letters, sharing increasingly personal parts of their lives.

By the time Henry realizes his mistake--that Edith is actually the brown-eyed beauty he keeps bumping into around town--their hearts are so intertwined he hopes they never unravel. But with her departure date rapidly approaching, and Henry's roots firmly planted at home, Edith must ultimately decide if the adventure of her dreams is the one right in front of her.

  • A clean and sweet romantic comedy reminiscent of the beloved classic You've Got Mail
  • Filled with mistaken identities, second chances, laugh-out-loud moments, and finding love in unexpected places
  • Includes discussion questions for book clubs

This is a story to settle in and enjoy! A perfect romantic comedy that you could imagine as a movie (although we all would agree would never be as good as the book!). A story about mistaken identities, love and discovering your true life's path. This is the perfect feel good book to step into if you are wanting an escape from the heaviness of real life, if but even for a moment. (I thought to even buy a few for friends who were going through hard times to try to help lift their spirits.). My husband even picked it up, read it and said it was enjoyable ( and that's a huge compliment from him 😉😅) As I was reading this book and would lay it down around the house I also realized how adorable it was as a decoration. Although this is Becca Kinzer's first novel, she writes as though she has a career's worth of experience. She is a born story teller and I'm already looking forward to more from her!
