Good story but at this point I am fed up with Maggie’s denial behavior and verbiage.

Fred falls while working on a deck and injures right wrist. He is 75y. Of course Noah who was also there (a helping hands project) is mighty worried. Urgent Care visit. That doc did ER in San Francisco.

About sunrise @ the reef.

Emma’s mom died 6 months ago.

Lexie = police chief of Hope Harbor

Noah is so suspicious !
You’d think he was in law enforcement vs. CPA.
(btw his Dad is a retired draftsman, 9-5 job.

@ 7
Emma (18y) had car trouble .. no $ 4 lodging .. Bren offers the sleeper couch in her living room (while Marv the mechanic fixes her Sentra).

Start’g ch. 6

Independence is an admirable trait, but it can get tangled up with pride and fear, can’t it ?
C to NW (talking about Bren who refused a ride home from C after her exhaustive 1st try @ a running program)

Bessie = C’s 1957 silver Thunderbird with white top ;)

A little kindness goes a long way toward smoothing rough paths and healing hearts.

[Btw Fred is president of the Helping Hands
Board.]

Noah Ward flies in from St.Louis on a surprise vusit to his dad, Fred.. arrives after midnight .. doesn’t let his Dad know .. thinks he will sleep in the empty cottage .. BUT Bren is sleeping there .. and she’s armed vs. intruders .. he gets sprayed.

Surprise party of tacos and brownies :)
Nice writing on this page too.

Actually they agree on her paying half of her current monthly rent.

ILL came in. Bren (barista) finds smoke from electrical outlet. Fred offers his mother-in-law empty house 4 free as temporary housing.
It’s her 30th birthday too !
Zach is her boss.

Diego and his dog, Poppy. Lead investigator is:
Gabriella Ruiz.
Already skipped some of killer parts as too graphic 4 this reader.

The suspense continues as Keith connects by phone with his birth mother ….

Suspense !!

Lovely book. A must-read for IH’s readers :)

Adoption stories .. 2B shared.

Keith was adopted ! Hmm

Holly was too silly, spoiled the story. Insta-love and in bed also not pleasing. 2 stars for the first story.

“the redoubtable Ms. Wells”.

Smiling.
One dead body and heroine mighty motivated to find true killer (her dad in custody n hospital now).

Queen of snark and one-liners .. one reason I like this author….

EW keeps the plot moving along nicely .. no ‘dead zones’.
Spare writing too .. communicative (vs. descriptive) .. Though there are a few noteworthy phrases / metaphors lol.

Rebecca reveals Susannah’s real job after calling Quinn to her house. (100 pages left..)

THIS is true Christian fiction (imho).This author is a total standout. Her books are THE example for the Christian fiction genre.

Love it.
