Synopsis

For Rachel Watkins, the armistice has brought anything but peace. She struggles to run her family’s Minnesota boardinghouse, keep her grief-shattered family together, and fend off the man who is using any means necessary to take her property. But now a shell-shocked stranger takes refuge with the Watkins family as he tries to heal and salvage what he can from his once privileged life. And when remorseless enemies seize a devastating chance, Rachel and this mysterious loner will risk everything to believe in each other … and claim the dreams they’ll never surrender.
