Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Sometimes you have to move back to move forward . at least that's what Samantha Jarrett thinks. Samantha feels that she has nothing else to lose. Her husband dies suddenly, her beloved grown kids move far away and then, without warning, she loses the job she loves. She's always led a predictable, cautious life. But what did that get her? A dead husband, a low bank account and nights so lonely she cries herself to sleep. Seeking the comfort and familiarity of home and family, Sam does something unexpected: she buys the nicest house in her small Indiana hometown and returns there to open a bed-and-breakfast. But not everyone is happy that she is home. She soon faces obstacles she didn't know existed that test her strength -- and her faith. The book includes a plot that takes some unexpected turns on the way to resolution.
