    About this audiobook

    A small-town doctor left behind with three young boys. A compassionate woman who can help them heal. But is their town ready for an interracial relationship –and is he ready for her?



    Peaceful, Ohio, is a small village in the Appalachian hills. Amidst the scenery of stunning nature, the villagers don’t have much more entertainment than gossip. Local doctor Jacob is a respected member of the community. Coming from a line of farmers and miners, he got himself through college on a scholarship. When he returned to take over old Doctor Johnson’s practice, the town welcomed him like a hero –even when he brought home a city girl as his wife.



    When his wife abandons him and their three young sons, all the ladies smell blood. Circling him like vultures, Jacob tries to ignore them as best he can. He buries himself in his work because Jacob has had enough of women for the rest of his life.



    Hester thought teaching young children would be her greatest challenge when she arrived in Peaceful. She isn't expecting to deal with a hostile community and a burned man.



    Only when he buries the past, can they have a future.

      Let me start by writing Graig A. Hart and Josie Kurz are amazing together. Individually they're good, but together they put something extra to the table. Gotta love dual narration!
      Now to the story:
      I have to confess, I was a bit sad we're abandoning Club Indigo, but this prequel has me curious for the rest of the series.
      Given all that's happening right now in the world, it's interesting to go back in history and see the world through the eyes of an African American woman shortly after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. (It also makes me sad that we haven't made much progress).
      The attraction between Jacob and Hester is hot, and my heart ached for the motherless children. I can't wait to discover in what kind of men they'll grow ?
    • 5/5
      Quick read, but still good. I truly enjoyed this prequel. It was worth the read/listen.
