On the shore of Lake Michigan, just up the road from Blueberry Beach is another small town. Strawberry Sands. A place of comfort. A place of rest and peace. A place where divorcee and single mom, Kim Tinsley, can go to try to make a new life for herself, raising her baby, while praying for her older child who has left the faith of her childhood and is questioning everything she’d ever taught her. She’s not looking for romance. Only a safe place to heal and protect her children. To raise horses and rent them out to people like her – looking for an idyllic time along the shores of Lake Michigan. But she hadn’t expected the house she inherited to already have a renter. A man of character and conviction. A man she’s ashamed to admit her miserable past and failures to. But, as they work together to build a close-knit community in their idyllic lake-side beach town, she finds herself wondering if God had opened a door that she had thought was closed forever. Maybe love really is more than buff bodies and passionate encounters, betrayal and heartbreak. And maybe Kim will find it where she least expects it – in Strawberry Sands.
