About the book . . .

When Brenna Forsythe comes home to Noel, Maine for Thanksgiving, she’s dismayed at the town’s condition.

Determined to change the course of Noel’s future, Brenna enlists the help of Derek Thomas, the town’s reluctant mayor.

Derek never wanted the role of mayor and only ran to keep Clyde Dumfries from running uncontested and winning another term. He wants to revitalize his beloved town, but ideas are few and funds are scarcer. When Brenna returns to town with unwavering determination to revitalize Noel, he sees her as an answer to prayer, but will the past interfere?
