Hearts We Mend

For young widow Evie Bennett, moving forward will mean deciding what to leave behind . . . and what to keep. Widowed at the age of twenty-five when her firefighter husband was killed in the line of duty, Evie Bennett has spent the last thirteen years raising their son, Cody, in the close-knit community of Banister Falls. As the women’s ministry director of her church, Evie encourages women to boldly pursue God’s plan for their future . . . while she is content with her memories of the past. But Evie’s well-ordered life begins to change when she meets Jack Vale. As Evie gets drawn into Jack’s world-a world that isn’t as safe and predictable as the one she’s worked so hard to create-he challenges her to open her eyes to the problems in the community . . . but will Evie open her heart to love again? Because even though Jack isn’t anything like her late husband, he just might be everything she needs.
