My review:

Clara is a strong character in difficult circumstances. She had a rough childhood and has built a tough exterior around herself.

When she goes home to Pleasant, Texas, she has no intentions of staying. She just needs a safe place to land and make some decisions. She did not anticipate Nan's health issues or becoming friends with Tucker and Shay. 

Tucker is taking care of his niece, Shay, and she is a handful. She is constantly getting into trouble at school and driving the housekeepers away. When Clara agrees to work as his housekeeper, he is not sure she is the best fit, especially with all the secrets she is keeping, and her plans to leave as soon as she can.

This is a sweet story about love, forgiveness, grace, second chances, family, and so much more. This is a touching story that will keep you turning the pages to see how it will all end. This story is not just a romance, it has depth and weighty topics, that are handled extremely well. As expected from a Love Inspired novel, it also has a happy ending.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
