Cora Matthews has long wondered why her mother stopped taking her to visit her grandparents' lodge in the small Northwoods Minnesota town of Moonberry Lake. Now, after burying her mother and breaking off her engagement just two weeks before her wedding, Cora has a chance to find out. Once there, she is stunned to learn that the old lodge is her inheritance--with a surprising condition attached. Maybe some time to regroup on the shores of a beautiful lake is just what Cora needs to figure out what's next for her.
But Cora's days on the lake are anything but relaxing. The only thing that's a bigger mess than her own life is the dilapidated building she's living in. Add a cantankerous handywoman, an angry neighbor, and an elderly woman who spends all her time talking to the "residents" in the cemetery and Cora's not sure she can stick it out. But if she can, she may find a love she never expected--from the most unexpected people imaginable. This homespun tale of new friendships, sweet romance, and ordinary miracles will have you wishing you could spend a summer (or a lifetime) on Moonberry Lake.
CAFE LILY'S REVIEW:
I've always heard it said that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I did this time. The cover of this book grabbed my attention immediately and I loved it. While I loved the cover, I did not love this book. First, the print is very tiny and hard to read. I found it very taxing on my eyes. More importantly, though, I was disappointed with the New Age references and dialogue in this story. The "Christian" elements of this book are anemic and not what I expect from Revell. The characters were a bit much and a little out there for me. I just had a really hard time connecting to this one.
