Welcome to Sycamore Hill, where hearts mend, redemption is within reach, and love’s blossoms endure even the harshest storms.

Landscape Architect Meg Gilmore's past resurfaces, threatening the harmony she's fought to cultivate. She's forced to confront the powerful family of Eli Martin, a friend she thought she could trust. With a 250-year-old tree—the very heart of Sycamore Hill—at stake, Meg and Eli’s goals intertwine for now.

Eli’s roots run as deep as the ancient tree, and his noble intentions clash with familial expectations. He tries to help Meg, the first woman to see beyond his wealth and status but only jeopardizes their future. Will Eli and Meg find their way out of the weeds and let love bloom, or will their secrets tear them apart?

Explore themes of trust, forgiveness, community, and the resilience of love in this stirring tale of redemption. Fans of Karen Kingsbury and Deborah Raney will love The Sycamore Standoff.

"Weeks is a writer I count on for sweet contemporary romances with faith messages to make me think. Sycamore Standoff combines sympathetic characters with heartening takeaways about the freedom of living in grace and the power of community."

5.0 out of 5 stars An inspirational read that will warm your heart
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2022
The Sycamore Standoff by Stacey Weeks follows the life of Meg Gilmore after she escapes from an abusive relationship to the small town of Sycamore Hill, a town filled with hope and friendship. She draws close to Eli, a wonderful, caring man who only wants to help, but after what Meg's been through, she finds it hard to trust others. As Meg draws closer to God, she learns that people truly care about her and her life would be better if she accepted help. In her efforts to save a piece of the town's history, she's able to help others as well. It's easy to care about the lives of the residents of Sycamore Hill. The author doesn't shy away from talking about Jesus. It's an inspirational read that will warm your heart.

4.0 out of 5 stars a sweet & swoony romance but also so much more than that!
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2022
One of the things I enjoy about Stacey Weeks’ writing is her ability to present a powerful & touching gospel message organic to the story, without it feeling forced or preachy. Instead of stopping an entertaining story for a sermon (y’all know that’s a pet peeve of mine), Weeks uses the faith-centered elements to enhance the characters’ journeys on the page and point to the Source of peace, strength, and courage. And in The Sycamore Standoff, Meg needs a solid dose of all three.

Meg is making a new home for herself in Sycamore Hill, fleeing an abusive boyfriend and finding refuge & solace – and maybe a new love – in this quaint town. She is the kind of protagonist that we can all relate to – even if we haven’t lived her exact circumstances. Because we have experienced her emotions & insecurities, we’ll root for her to find her confidence, her faith, and a happily ever after. I loved getting to know the town and its residents, and I’m definitely looking forward to the other books in this series. In fact, I got so caught up reading the preview of His Sycamore Sweetheart that I forgot it was only a snippet and was disappointed when my Kindle would not advance further lol.

There are a lot of parallels in this story between ‘Alfred’ – the 250-year-old tree at the source of the titular standoff – and Meg’s own life. I won’t go into too many details because I don’t want to spoil it for other readers, but I loved how sweetly the author wrote this aspect of her story and how it can apply to our own lives as well. The way town gets involved will bring a smile to your face (and maybe even a cheer from your mouth), but it’s the spiritual application that will linger in your heart long after you’ve closed the book.

Bottom Line: The Sycamore Standoff is a sweet & swoony romance (I loved Eli, too, even though I haven’t talked about him in the review), but it’s so much more than that. It’s a story of survival, of leaning into Godly friends, of taking power back from the voices who hold you captive and putting it in the hands of the One who made you & loves you & is for you. I can’t wait for more visits to Sycamore Hill, to catch up with Meg & Eli and see where Weeks takes the other characters too.

I loved this beautiful story about Meg, Eli and Alfred. This story of faith reminded me how God can use all of our lives, the good, the bad and the indifferent to bring glory to Himself and healing to us.
Another great read by Stacey Weeks!!

Main characters felt alive/real. The book flows smoothly and lets the reader develop a relationship with the town, the community and its history. Good story.
