Mourning her mother’s death, Adele Martin quits her job in Brooklyn and returns to Pennsylvania, where she was raised in a small mountain cottage. Artist Jay Westvelt is the next door neighbor. Despite differing opinions they have an attraction to each other. Secrets concerning her father, mother and aunt come to light making Adele want to run back to Brooklyn. Jay loves her and wants her to stay with him. Adele learns the true meaning of love.

I really wouldn’t consider this a romance as much as it is a family drama. This is a very emotional book. Lisa Dale is a talented author and I will be watching for more of her art.
