With a charming cast of suitors, a sister full of sparkle, a touch of mystery (inspired by a real unsolved case!), and a spiritual theme grounded in God’s faithfulness, this novel has it all. Ann shares her writing journey, a bit of Kentucky history, and the Bible verse that inspired Alina’s story. You’ll laugh, swoon, and definitely want to grab this book by the end!
