He thinks she's an elderly widow. She's convinced he's a grumpy old man. Neither could be further from the truth. After a short and difficult marriage, recently widowed Edith Sherman has learned her lesson. Forget love. Forget marriage. She plans to fill her thirties with adventure. As she awaits the final paperwork for a humanitarian trip to South Africa, she accepts a short-term nursing position in a small Midwestern town. The last thing she needs is a handsome local catching her eye. How inconvenient is that? Henry Hobbes isn't exactly thrilled to have Edith, who he assumes is an elderly widow, dumped on him as a houseguest for the summer. But he'd do almost anything for his niece, who is practically like a sister to him given how close they are in age. Especially since Edith will be working nights and Henry works most days. When he and Edith keep missing each other in person, they begin exchanging notes--short messages at first, then longer letters, sharing increasingly personal parts of their lives. By the time Henry realizes his mistake--that Edith is actually the brown-eyed beauty he keeps bumping into around town--their hearts are so intertwined he hopes they never unravel. But with her departure date rapidly approaching, and Henry's roots firmly planted at home, Edith must ultimately decide if the adventure of her dreams is the one right in front of her.A clean and sweet romantic comedy reminiscent of the beloved classic You've Got MailFilled with mistaken identities, second chances, laugh-out-loud moments, and finding love in unexpected placesIncludes discussion questions for book clubs

"This book is beautiful! Parts of the story were a little slow but not enough to be off putting. The characters were so great and I loved all of them (well maybe not Edith's brother-in-law). A lot of the book was laugh out loud funny. Edith was an absolute delight and Henry was swoon worthy. <br/><br/>My favorite part of the book was the Godly message that no matter the misunderstandings or the distance that God will work things out. You will end up where you are supposed to be and with who you are supposed to be with. God is good and works things out for those who love and follow Him. <br/><br/>I recommend this for anyone who wants to read a sweet, Godly love story."
