Description
Single mother, Ruth Barnes, has devoted most of her adult life to caring for her son who struggles with addiction. She is empty inside from the sorrows she’s faced and the realization that there is nothing left she can do for him now that he is twenty-one. When a charming, good looking, honest, and most of all clean and sober man, enters her life, will she be able to let go of her parental responsibilities to make room in her heart for a good man?
Craig Reid has failed at everything in life including marriage and children due to alcoholism. Now, ten years sober, he awakens to a drama-free, simplistic existence where he avoids anything that could thwart his sobriety, including a romantic relationship. When a beautiful woman-a muse-inspires him to paint for the first time in years, he finds himself questioning all his self-imposed rules.
Will their budding affection blossom into true love, or will the truth of addiction fester causing them both to lose hope?
Advance Praise
This is a story that hits on real topics and situations. It doesn’t sugar coat them, but brings them to the forefront. It was well written and provided an insight into the world of an addict. But it also gives us hope for our own HEA, no matter the situation. Strong story line with an emotional tugging of the heart strings.
~ Sassy Beta Reading and Reviews
Ms. Knight really can write with a lot of different situations and shows this in this story. You will laugh, smile, cry and wish something didn’t happen. There are relationship problems that we hope can be solved. It’s uplifting and yet series at the same time. I highly encourage you get this story and read it. You will not be able to put it down. I couldn’t and I started reading and couldn’t put it down as it drew me in right away and kept me riveted.
~Goodreads - Dorothy
I have read all of the books in the Sweetwater and Riverbend series and have loved them all. But this one is really hitting on a topic that is very prevalent in our society. It gives you a real good look at the growing problem of addiction. You get to see how easy it is to become an addict and how hard it is to stay clean once you kick the habit. This story shares the life of an addict and the struggles that they have to face each and every day. They rely on hope to take one day at a time, just like those who love them.
