About the Author:

My Review:
Following Hannah Glick's husband's untimely death she unfortunately, according to her family had to take on a job at the Lancaster Grand Hotel. The beginning of the book lets you in on a slightly funny little incident where Hannah mistakenly walks into an occupied room at the hotel in order to clean it. And after opening the door all too quickly realizes it is very occupied by a Trey Peterson. Trey Peterson just like Hannah is also a widower he lost his wife and daughter Samantha in a terrible way. And just like Hannah he is learning how to go on in spite of the loss in his life.
Soon Hannah is faced with some tough choices to make for herself and her family. She very much wants to find love again. She wonders when God will bring this new promise of love back into their lives. But while the author could of tied this love story up and finished it, she didn't. Hannah's brother in law, Joshua, is very much in love with Hannah. So Amy Clipston leads us down this path of love for Hannah. She also leaves you wondering throughout the pages to which man Hannah will choose to begin a new life with.
This novel is a great read. And really captures your heart and you will soon finding yourself feeling very bad for Hannah and hoping she picks the right guy.
