"A modern fairy tale, complete with a deserving heroine, a prince of a guy, and a happily-ever-afer ending." --People
"The perenially bestselling Spencer doesn't miss a beat. Famous for her heartrending slices of Americana, she delivers the goods." --Publishers Weekly
"Deft, unpretentious, and down-to-earth, LaVyrie Spencer...never fails to please." --The Anniston Star
"The year is 1916, the place is a tiny, New England village called Camden- where a newly divorced woman learns that love can be more special the second time around....
When free-thinking divorcee Roberta Jewett returns to her hometown of Camden, Maine, she discovers that small-town folk consider a divorced woman little more than a prostitute. Condemned by her mother and scorned by neighbors, she nonetheless perseveres in her struggle to forge a good life for her girls and herself. Behaving like no 'respectable' women would, she gets a job as a county nurse, learns to drive, and buys her very own Model T. Embittered by her painful marriage to an unfaithful husband, she has no intention of being any man's victim again. So when widowed carpenter Gabriel Farley begins work renovating her house, Roberta's first response to him is blatant resentment. But Gabriel's quiet, vibrant masculinity soon finds a way to soothe Roberta's heart.
And in the ultimate test of will and devotion, she must depend on the man she has grown to love and summon the courage to stand up to an entire town."
