A Place to Call Home — Eileen Berger

As Tess and her church group from Fairhills, Pennsylvania, help rebuild the homes and dreams of devasted hurricane victims in Florida, she finds herself caught in a downpour of emotions. Pete Macfarland, the handsome newcomer from Connecticut, simply will not blend into the woodwork.

But the requirements of Tess's college course-a published paper on her experiences in Florida-throw a wrench into their flourishing romance. When Pete's hometown newspaper decides to run Tess's article, coincidence quickly dissolves into calamity.
