About the Book

"Thomas Smucker moved to West Kootenai for a fresh start -- one where he could make his own decisions and build a life away from his deceased father's harsh reputation. But when a tragedy occurs, he finds his five-year-old niece in his care. Now, he has to build a life he didn't want and face a past that he longed to escape. Lovina Graber dreams of a husband and family of her own, but a lifelong limp and disfigured face have her doubting it will ever happen. Instead, she's content working as a scribe for The Budget and spending her days helping her parents and the less fortunate in her community. Well, mostly content. And then there's that secret anonymous column she's been writing too ... When a newly arrived bachelor becomes an instant father, Lovina feels compelled to come to the rescue, helping Thomas care for his Englisch niece as he works toward gaining custody. Although Thomas and his niece clash at every turn, Lovina finds herself building a bond with the girl. Could this be the family she's longed for? Afraid he's too much like his anger-driven father, Thomas has no plans to ever marry or have children, despite the sparks between him and Lovina, and his growing fondness for his niece. When he finds out Lovina's secret -- and believes she's perhaps not the person he thought -- he strikes out in caring for Emily on his own. But when his custody is threatened, he must do what's best for his niece. The only problem is he's not sure what that is. Can he and Lovina work together to fight the lies they've believed all their lives -- and fight the system to get back their girl?"--
