A Season in Eden — Megan Chance

For a time, Lora Cameron was a happy young woman married to a loving husband with dreams of one day having a beautiful, prosperous farm and living with simple joys. But her dreams turned to dust as harsh conditions, drought and backbreaking work robbed her of her spirit, and left her a shadow of her old self.

In dire financial need her husband, Eli, takes a job at a distant logging camp, leaving Lora to manage the farm alone, except for the help of Will Bennet. Little more than a boy, Will was raised by his parents in a utopian community. He is wise beyond his years and has an instinctive gift for looking deep into another's heart and knowing what they need-even when they don't.

Will Bennet is a unique character; part healer, part temptation, part conscience and part guardian angel. He is that catalyst for Lora's growth and rebirth as well as the force that invites her to flirt with running away. Lora slowly begins to deal with the hard realities of rebuilding their farm.

Then tragedy strikes again. Eli is horribly injured and comes home a broken man. With her newfound confidence and slowly returning joy, Lora is able to help him overcome his trauma to reclaim the beautiful love and the dreams they thought were lost.
