Ring of Hope — Birdie L. Etchison

Life moves in circles.

Aaron Walker watched his sister slowly die, then spent years running from the pain he felt. Now he finds himself working in a Maine lobster pound, feeling a strange desire to settle down. There's something about the job...the family atmosphere...the owner's daughter, Deanna, with her dark curls...that stirs his deadened heart.

Deanna is awakening from her own grief - the loss of her husband at sea. She has mourned deeply but now is ready to move on with her life. Is it the time for Aaron as well?
