For a young widow, the stone mansion she once dreamed of owning, offers the promise of a new beginning. After the death of her husband, Kestra returns to her hometown of Port Star. With the purchase of her childhood dream house—a stone mansion along the rocky Oregon coast—it appears she has found a way to rebuild her life. Kestra begins to transform the old house into an elegant, yet charming restaurant. But as the renovations begin, a mysterious stranger moves into her caretaker’s cottage—and eventually into her heart. Suddenly life is full of promise and new opportunities, until a contractor’s jealousy threatens Kestra’s new romance. Formerly titled: Wise Man’s House
