"Sharon Sala is a consummate storyteller. If you can stop reading, then you're a better woman than me."—DEBBIE MACOMBER, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

Welcome back to USA Today bestselling author Sharon Sala's world of Blessings, Georgia—a tight-knit small town where the secrets of southern girls sometimes have surprising consequences, you never forget your first love, and the magnolia-scented breeze always feels like home.

Hurricane Fanny left no one in Blessings, Georgia, unscathed—including Rowan Harper. Rebuilding her life after so much loss seems impossible. Now that she's all alone, how can she ever hope to find the strength to carry on?

Bowie James has come back to help repair his grandmother's house, but he doesn't intend to stay long. He and his mother were forced out of Blessings a decade ago, and he's never forgotten the small-minded people responsible for bringing him so much pain.

But Rowan isn't like anyone else. She's kindhearted, beautiful, and so lost he can't bring himself to stay away. When he reaches out in kindness, an unlikely friendship blooms, and soon Bowie discovers that he can entrust Rowan with his deepest secrets—and, if they can find it in themselves to trust again…his heart.

Sit down and stay a spell: In Blessings, Georgia, you're guaranteed a small town where good people triumph and the rotten apples get what's coming to them, a sweet and clean love story that'll warm your heart, and a new home that's always there when you need it.

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2019

It’s been a while since I’ve been to Blessings, Georgia, and I was well overdue for a visit, so I was delighted to be able to read an early copy of this book. I had forgotten what a great fictional town Blessings is, as well as the amazing talent this author has for creating a touching, evocative storyline. If you like a romance with a hero and heroine who are flawed but immensely loveable, a story that elicits every kind of emotion to give your heart a workout, and colorful, endearing secondary characters, you'll love Bowie and Rowan's story.

Bowie James left Blessings, GA, as a teenager, vowing never to return, until he received a letter from his grams and Aunt Ella explaining their house had been destroyed by a hurricane. Bowie just happens to be a builder, and there's nothing he won't do for his family, but the welcoming committee waiting for him when he returns to Blessings is the same that ran him out of town. Bowie isn't that scrawny kid anymore, and the welcoming committee is in for a big surprise when they try to take on Bowie this time.

Rowan lost her mom as a child and it's always been her and her father and their farm. The hurricane destroyed their farm and took her father, so she's all alone in the world until she meets Ella and Pearl. When Bowie goes to get “his girls” from the nursing home where they've been staying to take them to live with him in his RV during the house renovation, Rowan is automatically included.

I truly didn’t know if my heart would survive because this book was one emotional hit after another. It holds so much love, so many special moments, and is a story of redemption, second chances and the power of love. Don’t be mistaken, there is also an abundance of pain, sorrow, hatred, anger and the most vile evil, but it only serves to make the good that much better and the love more precious. This is one of those stories that will fill your heart, leave you with a smile, and stay with you long after the last page. Don’t miss this heart warming, uplifting, truly special read!

*I reviewed an advance copy of this book freely and voluntarily, having made no commitment to provide a review and receiving no compensation of any kind from any source for this review.

Sometimes you have to go home, so that you are vindicated!

There is nothing better than a visit to Blessings, GA and this was a really great trip. This series is never a let down, the characters are interesting and give me a feeling of home, I was raised in an family environment that's similar to the feeling of Blessings. As always, the characters feel like real people, with real life problems and finding love is just a huge plus. Dealing with people who think their way is always right and realize how their prejudices rule their lives is eye opening. When you don't know that you are wrong and won't apologize when you it becomes apparent, the getting what you deserve is only fair!

I felt really sorry for both Rowan and Bowie but they were strong people in spite of what happened to them. This was a thoroughly engrossing read and catching up on previous characters is part of what makes this series so enjoyable. There is nothing offensive or too sexual about the stories and (big plus), the characters aren't all in their twenties; there is love for all ages. - Can't wait for the next installment in December.

A delightful read. A loving family brought together by a hurricane after years of absence. Bowie is that knight in shining armor. He is good to the core and an example of what a man truly should be. This is also a story of a sincerely dysfunctional family under the hand of a tyrant. Karma is a bitch and has her day in spades. You will laugh and cry as this one unfolds. Kudos to Ms. Sala for a great read!

Another home run by Sala. Bowie James, another person scarred by the gossip and lies around the small town, comes back, grown, handsome and successful, to help his grandmother and aunt when their home is almost destroyed by Hurricane Fanny.

When Bowie gets to town, the gossip starts immediately and he is almost attacked by two of the family enemies, and Bowie is ready. The law takes over and the so-called upstanding citizens find themselves on the wrong end of the law and Bowie is the one in the right. When they drove him and his mother out of town seventeen years earlier, he was a scared kid beaten up by adults. Now he is a successful businessman and is not afraid of them. He then meets Rowan, who lost her father and everything in her sheltered life in the storm. Grandma Pearl and Aunt Ella have taken her under their wing and will not let her go. Bowie takes one look and he isn't letting her go either.
There is a lot of sadness here, and at least one broken family, but some would say they only got what they deserved.

I very much enjoy my visits to Blessings Georgia. This story covered a lot old hurt and injustice. All of the characters, except one were believable. Rowan was not very realistic to me. Other than that another episode of small town life was put to rights.
