Whispers of the Heart — Ruth Scofield

Autumn Barbour was shy, private, solitary -- and seemingly content. Yet it was fear that kept her from following her dreams of a husband and a family. Until the day a bold and broad-shouldered widower and his bubbly little boy invaded her isolation...
Architect and civic leader Brent Hyatt had found a cause in Autumn. He and his tiny son opened her world to sunshine and puppies. They brought her to a church called Hope and taught her that faith could move mountains and conquer any fear. Now it was up to Autumn to free her heart and claim the family of her dreams.
