At this point in her life, bravery is not a trait Willa Hart would readily claim. She believes her seven-year-old daughter, Savannah, who never knew her father and successfully tackled chemotherapy, is truly the courageous one. Yet after Willa has a fateful encounter with handsome young doctor Patrick McCade, her outlook—and her view of herself—begins to change.
Patrick, a thrill-seeking world traveler and temporary resident of Lenox, Oregon, sets out to show Willa the value of adventure, even within her tiny town. But just when their friendship shows signs of turning into something more, Patrick’s life as a traveling doctor calls him back. Will his last days in town signal the end of their journey, or will Patrick and Willa find the courage to transform a single season into a lifetime?

Seriously, Deese is gifted at writing heartwarming characters, delightful interactions and a story with heart! Open up this novel and by Chapter 2, you should be hooked good!
Let me say, I think if we are honest, all of us can find a little of Willa in us. Willa struggled with letting her fears determine so much of her life, her craving for control but in the end those things do not give freedom but become chains. I loved seeing her work through these fears and especially the sweet moments with Patrick.
This is one novel you do not want to miss out on! I am really looking forward to Deese's next book! I am hoping to see more of these characters in the (I hope) not too distant future!
