Rebuilding a life
one paw print at a time.
After a traumatic experience, Brenna Park hopes that leading a youth summer
camp with her emotional support dog, Lulu, will help ease her back into her
life. Only, she didn’t expect to be sharing the responsibility with the man she
left behind a decade ago. Recently widowed, Owen McCaw returns to his family’s
ranch with his infant daughter to mend his estranged relationship with his
parents and agrees to help out at his mother’s camp. As Brenna and Owen clash
over every decision, they can’t ignore their growing connection either. When
camp comes to an end, the two must decide if risking their hearts is worth a
second chance at love…
My Thoughts:
Life can certainly throw some hard wrenches into people's lives, and Brenna and Owen only know that too well. Both of them are still smarting from past wounds and the tragedies of the present day. Once upon a time they loved each other and planned on spending their lives together. Until it didn't happen. They both went their own ways until they came back to the small town they grew up in.
Owen is a recent widower and single father to his baby girl. He needs help, but he also needs to mend some bridges between his parents and himself. His mom needs his and Brenna's help to run her day camp, since her recent accident. They both agree, albeit reluctantly.
Brenna ran away from Owen and now she is back helping him and his family. She also has survived a recent attack that has turned her world upside down. Now she needs an emotional support animal and breaks out in a panic attack when dealing with unexpected situations with people.
There is a lot of healing that needs to take place between these two. Not only between one another but also coming to terms with what they both have gone through. Who knew volunteering and working together could begin the healing? This was a heartfelt emotionally packed romance of forgiveness, acceptance, and new beginnings.
