Ethan and Sophie long to share a future together. But the secrets
they're not sharing could tear them apart.

resurrect the local newspaper that so enchanted her as a girl.

MY REVIEW:
This is the third book in the "Hickory Ridge Romance" series, however, despite I hadn't read the first two books, this book definitely stood alone. I had no problem following the story or understanding about the characters.
Sophie is returning to the town where she was treated unfairly as a child because she was an orphan of unknown origin. She has been studying and working as a reporter for the Dallas newspaper and has now decided to buy the newspaper office in her hometown that has been shut down. She meets Ethan when she goes to the resort, where he is the architect and partner, to interview him. Immediately you sense a spark between them.
The book is very interesting from a historical point on view. The author touches on the difficulties of workers from different backgrounds working together. The book is seems very factual in how it handles the historical facts of the era.
This is a sweet story. I enjoyed the love and honor of the story and how we see these characters move beyond hurts with grace. I liked all the twists and turns that make the story interesting and keep you wanting to read to see what happens. I can highly recommend this lovely romance.
