Today is your birthday... I want you to know that you are in my heart, as you always have been. I pray for you every day. I pray I did the right thing...
Thus wrote Miranda DeSpain on the anniversary of the day that changed her life forever, the day her heart was torn in pieces. Ever since that wrenching event, she's been unable to settle down, embrace life. She finds herself starting one adventure after another, trying to forget. But she never can. As she approaches her twenty-seventh birthday, she determines once again to reinvent her circumstances, to start anew. But there's one loose end to tie up first...
Joseph North, chief of police in Abingdon, Virginia, has always tried to do what is right, to perform his duty and protect those he loves. He is suspicious of the new woman in town and, checking further, discovers she is a person with seemingly no history. Then he finds a baby picture of his niece in her possession....
A story of law and grace, of forgiveness and redemption, of finding joy and rest in a broken world.
This was my first Linda Nichols book and will not be my last. A very emotional, satisfying read.

I have this book buried in my to be read rubble! I bought it on a whim because I thought it sounded good but I just haven't gotten to it. I'll have to try to get to it soon.
I love the cover, and I think I would love the story too.

This definitely sounds like a good one Nise. Thanks for featuring it - I'm going to check it out.
Wait, Nise'! What changed her life forever? You can't leave me hanging like this!
You're seriously not going to make me go out and buy this book so I can find out...
Are you?
A student was reading this one and I immediately wanted to steal it from her!!!!
Sounds like another good one! I've been to Abingdon VA, but didn't know there were such interesting mysteries going on there!
Sounds great! Here is my "I" book.
