Since these words appeared in 2003, Rene Gutteridge has published almost twenty novels and gathered a growing and enthusiastic following.

This story follows Macey Steigel, an ambitious urbanite who has returned home to Kansas for her father's funeral after many years away. She intends to return to her big-city career as soon as possible and leave the dismal past buried along with her dad. But the sight of the old farmhouse triggers a wave of memories--and recollections of a painful secret--that she thought she's left behind long ago. A story of love, healing and renewal.
