Widow's Peak Creek: The Secret Between Them (Paperback)

'She'd wanted answers, but not like this.' I just this very minute finished the book and my heart (and my face) is smiling. Big. What a very precious story. Susanne Dietze saved the best for last in her series for sure. I've grown to love the inhabitants in this small town in her Widow's Peak Creek series. I'd like to visit, if only it weren't a fictional place. Paige and Joel were great characters. Oh, each has their bits of faults, but they truly had hearts for God and trusted Him for the hard things in their lives. Even if His will hurt. Oh, I loved this book so much! Very much recommended. My thanks to the publisher and author for a copy of this book. The opinion in this review is entirely my own.

Welcome back to California in Susanne Dietze's fifth book in her Widow's Peak Creek series, The Secret Between Them. Harper Price, the daughter of a single mom, has come to Widow's Creek, hoping to finally find some answers to the question she's been asking her mother for years…who is her father? She finds an old letter that leads her to town, hoping to speak with the lawyer grandfather she's never heard of until now. Entering the office, Harper meets Joel Morgan, the other attorney in the business, and discovers her grandfather had passed away. Joel is wary of Harper. She's just come out of the woodwork hoping for some inheritance…right? Joel already has enough on his plate to deal with this, too. He's trying to adopt sweet Maisie, the daughter of his late wife that he's raised since she was an infant. There are challenges ahead for both Harper and Joel, and secrets, too. Can they each lean on the Lord and follow His path, learning to trust in one another along the way? Could the Lord's paths for each of them possibly merge into the same one? You'll love this sweet story of faith, trust, and love. Plus it has my favorite…an epilogue! I received a complimentary copy of this book, but my opinion is entirely my own.
