Her Secret Hope by Shelley Shepard Gray
Two years ago, Lilly Kurtz left her home in Middlefield for a muchneeded vacation in Pinecraft, Florida, where she could escape her feelings of always being an outsider within her community. Little did she realize that this trip would be such a life-changing experience. Not only did it lead to a fresh start in Florida and a new set of friends, but a budding romance has started to bloom with hardworking farmer Eddie Byler. However, secrets from Lilly’s past may threaten to destroy her new relationship.
Eddie Byler values honesty and trust. He sees Lilly as a breath of fresh air, but he is mystified about her past. Although they grew up only thirty miles apart, Lilly remains silent about her time in Middlefield, which makes Eddie wonder if Lilly is hiding something.
As Eddie and Lilly’s relationship deepens, she must decide whether she is willing to return to Middlefield—a place where she never felt accepted. Will Lilly have to give up on love in order to find peace? Or could it be that love is actually the solution to all of her problems?
