A Heartwarming Small-Town Romance About Finding Your Way Home
Sometimes the place we return to when everything falls apart is exactly where we’re meant to be.
Peri Sullivan heads back to Winterberry Falls after her life in New York unravels, expecting her stay in the charming mountain town to be temporary. But surrounded by cozy cafés, the anticipation of the River of Lights festival, and the warm glow of a little lantern shop on Evergreen Lane, Peri begins to wonder if returning home might be about more than simply starting over.
Then she meets Adam Rowan.
Quiet, thoughtful, and slightly mysterious, Adam creates beautiful handcrafted lanterns that seem to hold pieces of people’s memories. As Peri spends more time in his shop and becomes part of his world, she starts seeing her own past—and the choices that brought her here—in a completely different light.
I love the gentle, atmospheric feel of this story. The lantern shop, mountain-town setting, summer nights, and glowing river festival create such a cozy backdrop for a romance centered on healing, self-discovery, and second chances.
Peri’s journey is especially relatable because returning home doesn’t magically erase everything that happened before. She has to confront her fears and decide whether she’s willing to open her heart again after experiencing heartbreak. Adam’s quiet presence gives her the space to do exactly that, while their developing connection feels tender and meaningful.
At its heart, this is a story about realizing that sometimes the life we think we want isn’t necessarily the life that will make us happy. Sometimes we have to let go of the plans we’ve made in order to discover what we’ve truly been searching for.
A sweet, atmospheric romance filled with small-town charm, emotional healing, beautiful lanterns, and the promise of a second chance at love. Perfect for readers who enjoy cozy settings, gentle romances, and stories about finding your way back to yourself—and perhaps to the person who was waiting for you all along. 🏮✨💕

What a sweet cozy romance! The sass and banter were fantastic! I wanna be friends with these sassy spunky small town ladies! Also.... I would love to live in Winterberry Falls. Any room for a weird introverted grandma?
