The Light at Maple Creek

She believed loving again would betray the man she lost. Then an old friend returned with a light bright enough to lead her home. Rachel Monroe has spent four years keeping Maple House Inn alive while quietly carrying the grief of losing her husband. When Daniel Hayes-her childhood friend and the man who once loved her-returns to Cedar Ridge to restore the abandoned chapel across the creek, Rachel's carefully protected world begins to change. Hidden inside the chapel walls, they discover generations of prayer cards, including one written by Rachel's late husband. His final request forces her to confront a question she has avoided for years: Can opening her heart again honor the love she lost rather than replace it? As rising water threatens the chapel, the inn, and Daniel's future, Rachel must decide whether faith means clinging to what was-or trusting God with what comes next.
