When the past just won’t stay buried, can two broken hearts discover healing in each other? Nicole Foster has spent her entire life wondering why she wasn't enough to make her father stay. Now an artist striving to find her place in small-town Bristol Heights, she's constructed walls around her heart and learned to lean on her own strength. Her faith feels as delicate as morning mist—there, but just out of reach. Colton Knight has a special talent for bringing broken things back to life. With his skilled hands, he can breathe new energy into damaged wood and cherished treasures that have been overlooked. However, his own heart holds the marks of loss and sadness. When he meets Nicole, he notices a familiar look in her guarded eyes—the kind of expression that reflects someone who has faced disappointment from those they trusted the most. As Nicole starts to believe that some people might truly keep their promises, shocking family secrets emerge, turning her understanding of love, abandonment, and her own identity completely upside down. With her world falling apart, she faces a tough choice: should she withdraw into the comforting shadows of isolation, or take a leap of faith on a love that feels almost like a dream? Sometimes, the most beautiful creations blossom from the most broken pieces. But will Nicole discover the courage to allow Colton to help her rebuild—not just her life, but also her faith in forever? A heartwarming story about second chances, unexpected grace, and the incredible healing power of love that stands the test of time.
