Finding Home

by Susan L. Tuttle

Bay Willow doesn't possess the same wanderlust gene as her parents. All she's ever dreamed about was planting roots and creating a home back in the one town that captured her heart as a teen: Hidden Lake. Now she's ready to make that dream a reality—and maybe catch up with her old friend Colin Dugal.

Colin has never forgotten Bay, even if they did lose touch throughout the years. So when he discovers she's moved back to his hometown, he's happy to catch up. After all, she'd been his first kiss and none have seemed to compare since then. There's just one slight problem. She's just moved into Hidden Lake. He's about to move out.

As Colin and Bay rekindle their friendship, she realizes that it wasn't only the town that stole her heart all those years ago. And the feeling is mutual. But Colin's about to leave for South America to work for a ministry that will have him changing addresses every three months.

Can these two hearts come together when their dreams are moving in opposite directions?

About the author

Susan L. Tuttle is a best-selling, multi-published author of small town, midwestern romances featuring ordinary people discovering extraordinary love. Her critically acclaimed novel Love You, Truly was an ACFW Carol Award finalist. As a former homeschooling mom, current pastor’s wife and women’s ministry leader at a large church, Susan loves to help women discover how their worth and identity are found in Christ, not the many roles they fill. She often shares that encouragement in her quarterly newsletter and on her Instagram page. When she’s not writing or serving her church and community, you can find her cozied up in one of her many favorite cardigans, sipping coffee, and obsessively eating cookies. She also enjoys hiking with her husband—to burn those cookie calories. Susan lives in Michigan with her family and a very spoiled Borderdoodle named Finley Frank.

I especially enjoyed the faith element in this story - trusting God with your future rather than trying to manipulate things on your own. A cute story.
