Publisher Description

HE WANTS TO CHANGE THE WORLD. SHE WANTS TO SAVE HER HOMETOWN. THEY MIGHT JUST SAVE EACH OTHER.

Dr. Pete Shipley is on a mission to save lives around the world. City Councilwoman Angela Ruiz is a single parent fighting to hold together her hometown after Hurricane Hope tears through Port Provident, leaving destruction across the community she has sworn to serve.

Together, they team up to found The Grace Space, a community gathering spot in the heart of Angela's district, where residents can get food, household goods, and basic medical care in the aftermath of the storm. It becomes a place where the community's spirit can heal--and a place where Pete's care begins to heal Angela's stressed-out heart as well.

When Pete's long-awaited appointment to an international medical mission comes, will the doctor follow his lifelong dream and leave Port Provident, The Grace Space, and Angela and her daughter--or will he stay with the family he didn't expect to love and change the world without leaving home?
