The water took her diner. The ground gave back a body.
Nora Keene buried a husband young and built her whole life back around a chrome-edged counter, a six-year-old girl, and a plan for everything. Then the Laurel River came up over its banks in the night and took the low streets, the mill floor, and the last thing she had. She has a camp kitchen to run and both hands on the wheel. She is done handing God anything else to take.
Micah Barrett comes in with Cornerstone, the volunteer crew that puts wrecked towns back together for free. He can read a hundred-year-old house the way other men read scripture, and he cannot stand to be thanked. He served his years. He has stayed sober. He is still working off a debt he does not believe will ever be square.
Then the flood-cut ground beside an empty riverbank house gives up bones, and a story Hollow's Bend settled a generation ago stops being true. Suspicion goes where it always goes: to the outsider with the record. The only person who can prove otherwise is the woman keeping the town's old paperwork, and the harder Nora looks, the less her own town adds up.
Someone here has spent a lifetime being everybody's friend to keep this buried. He is patient, he is trusted, and he is not finished.
She will have to let herself need somebody. He will have to let himself be forgiven. And they are running out of dry ground to do it on.
Faith, grace, and second chances. Small-town warmth, real danger, and a love story that never crosses the line.
Book 1 in the Broken Ground Series. Each book can be read as a standalone

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
