All her life Melanie Visser yearned for a loving home. The kind that her best friend had. Moving back home Melanie finds out that the house that her best friend lived in is now for sale. Adam Engler wants nonthing more then to get rid of the old house that holds so many bad memories for him. What will it take to get Adam to stay? I really liked this story

A Heart, a home... a husband?

All her life, the only place that represented the loving home Melanie Visser always yearned for was a stately, gingerbread Victorian in the town she grew up in. Moving back home, Melanie discovers that her dream house is for sale. And though the long-neglected manor needs some loving care, its embittered owner needs God's healing touch-- and Melanie's kindness-- even more.

Widowed Adam Engler can't wait to be rid of the crumbling Victorian. Haunting memories lurk in every dusty corner-- including the memory of his young wife's tragic death. But with the help of Melanie and his young daughter, Adam slowly begins to see that the house could be HIS dream home... but only with Melanie by his side...

This author's style of writing is totally different from the books she wrote for Guidepost in the GRACE CHAPEL HILL series. I was surprised and disappointed to find that it was more of a "beginning writing class" mode. I much prefer the stories she wrote for Grace Chapel Hill and will not be wasting my time on this series from Steeple Hill. The story line was okay, but nothing to hold my interest. A couple of twists at the end were so obvious that its hard to believe an adult wrote this as a book for adults, I'm sad to have to say. This is the only book published by Steeple Hill that I've had the opportunity to read but if this is an example of what they specialize in, it will be my last book from that company.
