Misty Mornings - Jessie Gussman

As they agreed on the night of their high school graduation, Leiklyn and her two friends, Tiffany and Willen meet on the porch of the Manor at Blueberry Beach on April Fool's day, eighteen years after being given their diplomas.

Life hadn't turned out as expected for any of them.

A single mother for fifteen years, Leiklyn recently lost her job in HR for an oil company and her unemployment is running out.

Could the manor she and her friends bought for $1 at a tax sale in celebration of graduation be the change she needs to move forward in her life?

Or will it just complicate things when she finds out the explosive secret her fifteen-year-old daughter is hiding?

When she finds out that her old high school crush - and the only one who knows her most terrible secret - now owns the hardware store and will be working closely with them on renovations, Leiklyn must choose whether she wants to start over somewhere else, or whether the draw of spending misty mornings by the lake with a man who understands her all too well is worth the risk to her heart.

Reviews for Misty Mornings:

★★★★★ "This book was so good I didn't want it to end and I'm anxious for the next book. A heartwarming story that captivated me from the beginning. I can't wait for the next book." - MJ

★★★★★ "A story of midlife, with real drama, ' a second chance at life and love. It has a sweet romance woven through and an undercurrent of faith for hope." - Kindle Customer

★★★★★ "Jessie writes about imperfect people making less than ideal decisions-so basically any one of us. She helps us see how those decisions make sense to the characters and gives us such empathy and caring. She doesn't excuse the wrong choices or downplay the consequences, but she shows how they can be redeemed and turn their lives around. This is Jessie at her best, telling a story that pulls you in and makes you forget the rest of your life, while lovingly planting seeds of goodness and redemption." - Wren

★★★★★ "This is a delightful book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I love the way Jessie brings God's guidance and His forgiveness into the story. As you read the book you can't help but love the characters. If you like a good cozy romance, you will enjoy this book. You just can't go wrong with a Jessie Gussman book!" - jill

★★★★★ "The characters really made this story, especially Leiklyn and Ethan, who had carried a tremendous secret between them that broke up their friendship in high school. I enjoyed watching them open up to each other and to try to overcome and move on together from the past." - lori
