From the beloved and bestselling author of the Ransom Canyon and Harmony, Texas series comes a powerful, heartwarming story about generations of family and the ironclad bonds they forge.
When Jillian James lands in the small-town Texas community of Laurel Springs, she’s just looking to find a few clues about the father who abandoned her and destroyed her faith in family. She’s definitely not planning to stay.
Connor Larady is a single dad, and the only one caring for his grandmother, Eugenia, who has Alzheimer’s. And now he has to close Eugenia’s quilt shop. When Connor meets down-on-her-luck Jillian, he’s out of options. Can he trust the newcomer to do right by his grandmother’s legacy?
Jillian is done with relationships. But as she grows closer to Connor and Eugenia, she must consider giving up her nomadic life for a future with those who need her—in this inspiring family saga that asks us to consider what love and chosen family really mean.

Laurel Springs, Texas, is a sleepy little town run by Connor Larady, who holds the positions of mayor, newspaperman, dutiful grandson, and bedraggled father of a rebellious teenage girl. He's keeping it together and doesn't realize what his life has been lacking until drifter Jillian James shows up looking for work. Jillian has no intention of staying in Laurel Springs for longer than it takes to track her estranged father, whom she believes once came to Laurel Springs before she was born. But after several months of living in the local B&B, Jillian begins to develop relationships with the townspeople that make leaving impossible. A gentle, contemporary romance that takes place in a charming, small Texas town is Thomas' niche, but her latest departs from her previous rancher-family sagas. Rather than creating the usual rural western atmosphere, Thomas portrays a town blighted by the death of manufacturing yet holding on by the strength and charm of its citizens.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
