The last person Alma Blanchard expects to waltz into her bayou café is Julien LeBlanc. If seeing him again weren't painful enough, her handsome ex-beau announces that he aims to settle down with her. The boy she broke up with in high school was not the settling-down type! As his courting continues, though, Julien softens her heart with his devotion and faith. But how can she ever forgive him and put aside her fear that he'll break her heart again? Alma has always believed a happily-ever-after just wasn't meant for her. What will it take for Julien to prove her wrong?
A sweet story even with the challenges that the main characters faced. Stubbornness, fear, pride and unforgiveness figure among those challenges. The distance between Alma and Julien lasted years. Years that they both were miserable because of their broken hearts.
The sense of community was great and the people were interesting and strong in not only their faith but also in helping each other. The world building was really good.
I liked how the story ended with a hard fought H.E.A. I was also surprised that there was a discussion questions at the end. I wasn't expecting that.
I read this book through the Hoopla program.
