When Eli Ross left Prince Edward Island to join the NHL, he left a broken family behind. More than a decade later, he's broke and headed home to an uncertain welcome. He wants to make things right... This description may be from another edition of this product.
"Being known was about the small things, small moments. It was seeing the truth before he'd even put a name on it."
I've been so looking forward to Eli's redemption story but I have to say that it did not start out the way I imagined or hoped. I so wanted everyone to embrace this broken, shattered man and help lift him up but he only runs into hostility, anger, and suspicion upon his return to his hometown. Granted, the author brilliantly turns his story around to bring about that forgiveness and redemption but my heart hurt for Eli as he slowly found his footing in the path to grace. Violet is quite the spunky heroine in need of her own dose of forgiveness and grace. Oh, I loved Eli and Violet, with their great dialogue and firecracker-laden interactions. It was also nice to see some of the characters from the Red Door Inn make their cameo appearances in this book.
Now my interest is piqued about Levi, the youngest brother, and his story. I can't wait for the finale to the series.
I received the book from the publisher via NetGalley and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.
