Some houses aren’t just built with bricks and mortar—they’re built with love, memories, and second chances. In this tender story, the weathered walls of a foster mother’s home become the canvas for two hearts searching for healing and purpose.
Zoey Chavez and John-Parker Wisdom couldn’t be more different, yet they find themselves bound by an inheritance that holds both the weight of the past and the promise of the future. The task of restoring the house is far more than a physical undertaking; it’s an emotional journey filled with challenges, compromises, and unexpected discoveries.
Faith quietly weaves through every moment. The lessons of a remarkable foster mother linger in the air, shaping decisions and inspiring courage. Each brushstroke of paint and every nail driven into place reflects a deeper restoration—the healing of hearts broken by life’s disappointments, regrets, and the rekindling of hope.
The theme of fostering shines like a beacon, reminding readers of the profound impact one life can have on many. This story about rebuilding a house and it’s about nurturing lives, creating a haven, and believing in the beauty of a future designed by God’s loving hands.
Linda Goodnight crafts characters who feel achingly real, with flaws and fears that make their journey all the more compelling. The interactions between Zoey and John-Parker are tender and heartfelt, filled with moments of vulnerability and grace. As they learn to trust and lean on one another, a quiet, steady love begins to take root, bringing a warmth that lingers long after the final page.
This story is a heartfelt celebration of faith and family, where God’s plans bring unexpected beauty from life’s broken places. It’s a tender tale of hope, healing, and a love strong enough to rebuild what once seemed beyond repair.
