Be prepared for a hard cry. I never saw it coming, just when I thought that this would be a pleasant romantic novella as a placeholder before the next full book in the Dove Pond Series.
IT game designer and recluse, Jake Klaine, felt no need to leave his home for any more than groceries since his fiancé left him. He is perfectly fine on his own in a house that is being slowly choked of light by the roses that Heather had planted. He does not need anything; Jake is perfectly content with his work and the occasional visit from the ghosts that stop by. It’s when they stay, floating in his bathtub wearing nothing more than a blonde wig and a strategically placed washcloth, and giving unwanted advice that Jake gets bothered. Doyle can be annoying, but it’s the annoyance that Jake needs.
Recent widow and mother to Noah, Sofia Rodriquez moved in next door and is the new greenhouse manager for Ava Dove. On the spectrum, Noah’s days can be challenging, but they have set into a good rhythm. That is until a challenge from bullies on the bus puts Noah on Jake’s front porch and, as they say, the rest is history.
This beautiful novella opens the closed worlds of three people that desperately need hope, magic, and possibilities. People need to know good is out there and that with patience and understanding, they will be what each need at a time when they had nothing.
