โIt was just a house. Just a weathered old house in a hidden grove, shuttered and still . . . โ
Last year, after traumatic circumstances forced her from her job as a nanny, Mara Bristol finally found a place to belongโthe winsome Everwood Bed & Breakfast at the edge of Maple Valley, Iowa. For months, sheโs helped its owner, Lenora, maintain the ramshackle property despite their shortage of guests. But when Lenora fails to return from a month-long trip and the bank threatens foreclosure, Mara worries sheโs once again alone . . . abandoned . . . about to lose the only true home sheโs ever known.
Detective Marshall Hawkins is no closer to whole today than he was two years ago . . . the day his daughter died. Between his divorce, debilitating migraines, and a dependence on medication, his life is falling apart. And when a reckless decision on the job propels him into administrative leave, he has no other plan but to get in his truck and drive. A one-night stay at the Everwood was supposed to be just that. But thereโs something about the old houseโor maybe its intriguing caretakerโthat pulls him in.
Together, Mara and Marshall set out to save the Everwood. But its secrets run deeper than they couldโve imagined. As they renovate the house and search for its missing owner, theyโll each confront the pain that brought them to the Everwood in the first place . . . and just maybe discover a faith and love to help them carry on.
