Synopsis

2024 Selah Award Winner, 2024 Christy Award Winner, and Carol Award Finalist 
 
For the first time in his life, Pete has everything to lose. 
 
After years of drifting, fifty-year-old Pete Ryman has settled down with his potbellied pig, Pearl, in the small Montana town of Sleeping Grass--a place he never expected to see again. It's not the life he dreamed of, but there aren't many prospects for a high-school dropout like him. 
 
Elderly widow Wilma Jacobsen carries a burden of guilt over her part in events that led to Pete leaving Sleeping Grass decades ago. Now that he's back, she's been praying for the chance to make things right, but she never expected God's answer to leave her flat on her face--literally--and up to her ears in meddling. 
 
When the younger sister Pete was separated from as a child shows up in Sleeping Grass with her eleven-year-old son, Pete is forced to face a past he buried long ago, and Wilma discovers her long-awaited chance at redemption may come at a higher cost than she's willing to pay. 
 
"Katie Powner brings both humor and heft to the page as she celebrates simple pleasures and not-so-simple love."--JULIE CANTRELL, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Perennials

When Lord Peregrine Sheldon, an intelligence officer for Wellington, is reported missing, presumed dead, his family and friends in England fear he is lost to them forever.

His only comfort is his beautiful rescuer, Sofia, an English girl living in a Spanish hill village. Sofia takes Perry to her mother's home where she nurses him back to health. But Sofia is as far from a society miss as one could hope to find. She fights with the partisans, wears a gentleman's attire and firmly knows her own mind.
As she and Perry grow closer, their feelings for each other grow stronger too. Perry is finally able to declare his feelings when his memory and sight return.
But they are from different worlds - Sofia feels trapped by the conventions and rules of Perry’s world and Perry believes Sofia will never settle in England after her wild and rebellious life in Spain.
