Traveling to England’s famed Newhaven estate to pursue an internship as a landscape architect, Hayley Buckman looked forward to making her long-held career dreams come true. What she didn’t anti-cipate was the awakening of her deepest longings.

This novel by Shari MacDonald is filled with mystery, romance, and the pervading theme of the prodigal “daughter” returning to God. It is a quick and easy read and I enjoyed it for the most part. The mystery had me guessing and doubting the characters honesty and trustfulness throughout the book. It fits the description of inspirational romance and the genre within which it falls perfectly. Once you get past the “trade” characters of hero and heroine, and accept them for what they are, the novel is entertaining and offers a brief respite into the beautiful England gardens of Newhaven.
