My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sterling arrives at the Haven feeling lost and weighed down by a painful past, especially with his estranged family’s farm so close and old wounds threatening to reopen. He must decide whether to stay silent or finally confront the turmoil he’s spent years avoiding. Lindsay comes to the Haven hoping it can truly help struggling rescues, but meeting Sterling — and discovering he may be the long‑lost cousin of her friend — complicates everything. His history, the tension surrounding his family, and the danger brewing nearby pull her deeper into the unfolding conflict. As a brutal confrontation looms, both Sterling and Lindsay are forced to face rising stakes, uncertain futures, and the possibility that love might still take root even in the middle of chaos.
This was a heartfelt, emotionally grounded story about a man caught in the fallout of long‑standing family conflict. Sterling’s aunt has created years of turmoil, and returning so close to his mother’s old farm forces him to confront wounds he’s spent a lifetime trying to outrun. The tension she stirs adds real weight to his journey and makes his struggle to find solid ground deeply compelling. What balances that heaviness beautifully is the hope that enters his life through new and renewed connections. Meeting Lindsay brings warmth, understanding, and the possibility of something good finally taking root. Reconnecting with his cousin and grandfather adds another layer of healing, giving Sterling the sense of belonging he’s been denied for so long. A moving, uplifting read about facing the past, finding unexpected allies, and discovering that family can hurt you — but it can also save you.
