After more than a year in Europe, Joanna Vaughn returns to Sweetwater Crossing, her dreams of becoming a concert pianist shattered. As if that weren't enough, her husband, whom she married after a whirlwind courtship, has died. The only thing sustaining her on the journey back to Texas was the thought of her childhood home. But to Joanna's dismay, she's changed so much that the place she once loved no longer feels like home.
After his fianc e married his partner and both blamed him for a patient's death, Dr. Burke Finley believes it's time for a change. A quick trip with his almost-aunt Della Samuels to Sweetwater Crossing turns into an extended stay to discover what happened to his uncle and her would-be husband. But the beautiful and musical Joanna makes it more than bearable.
As the two join forces to help Della, there is no denying the attraction felt on both sides. But ghosts from the past are coming to call--and threatening to destroy any chance at happily-ever-after.
Get swept away by this emotional tale of family, friendship, and the kind of love that overcomes every obstacle.
What a wonderful conclusion to the Secrets of Sweetwater Crossing series and what secrets they are. As the secrets unfold you will be shocked and engrossed, turning pages quickly to find out the why. What ingenious writing as Joannas story unfolds and Dr Burke and Della arrive in town. I love the Vaughn family and watching these sisters grow and find love, so I was excited to see Joanna have her story and what a journey to happiness it is. A family of faith that has faced tragedies and remained faithful to God are inspiring and the writing style has you feeling like you are a part of the town. Although this can be read as a stand-alone I recommend reading the entire series as you won’t want to miss anything about this family and the secrets each book uncovers. I am sad to leave Sweetwater Crossing but I will carry it with me for a long time. Highly recommend historical fiction at its best.
