This is the first in Irene Hannon's four book series 'Lighthouse Lane'.
I loved this book! Great story of two people who chose to shut themselves off to love in their future after each suffer tragic loss. The Lord shows them that fear not only locks us in the past, it robs us of joy today, & denies us a future. He brings them together & teaches them to trust Him & the transforming grace of love.
