The Secret of Willow Inn

By: Nichols, Pat

Women's Fiction

Two women fighting for their dreams, one who has long lost hers, are united by a tragedy and a long-held secret.

Newspaper reporter Emily Hayes is determined to save her family's historic general store and breathe new life into her hometown by writing a novel about its colorful past. When tragedy strikes, she must finish converting a house with a tragic history into the Willow Inn and find an investor to refurbish the town's only hotel.

Held hostage by a strained relationship with her father, Rachel Streetman is trapped in a high-powered, big-city career she barely tolerates. When a client's vision to plant a vineyard and build a winery in Willow Falls brings charming Charlie Bricker into her life, she finds herself at a crossroads. Will the truth about her father and her relationship with Charlie give her the courage to pursue her lifelong dream of acting?

Sadie Liles returns to Willow Falls after serving a thirty-year prison sentence for a murder that still haunts the community. Her hopes for a fresh start are met with hostility, as many believe her crime is the reason behind the town's ongoing struggles. Driven by compassion and journalistic curiosity, Emily befriends Sadie and delves into the mystery of what really happened the night Sadie killed the town hero. As shocking details emerge, Emily learns far more than she ever expected.
