A collection of lost books holds the clues to her family's legacy … and her future. Hope Sparrow has mastered the art of outrunning her tragic past, learning never to stay anywhere too long and never to allow anyone control over her life again. Coming to Wanishin Falls in search of her family's history already feels too risky. But somewhere in the towering stacks of this dusty old bookshop are the books that hold Hope's last ties to her late mother—and to a rumored family treasure that could help her start over. Only, the bookshop is in shambles, and the elderly owner is in the beginning stages of dementia and can’t remember where the books lie. To find the last links to the loved ones she's lost, Hope must stay and accept help from the townsfolk to locate the treasured volumes. Each secret she uncovers brings her closer to understanding where she came from. But the longer she stays in the quaint town, the more people find their way into the cracks in her heart. And letting them in may be the greatest risk of all… Review: I couldn’t put it down! - I loved this book and felt like I was taken to the shores of Lake Superior. It is a cozy read where you want to just curl up in a warm blanket with some tea and read the whole book in one sitting. It was easy to fall in love with Hope, the heroine of the story and feel for her as she struggles through some tough things in her past. This book deals with some hard topics but in a very gentle and sensitive way. Such a lovely story of redemption and learning to find peace that only God can give when we have been dealt a hard hand of cards in life. I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to see what other books Mollie Rushmeyer comes out with next! Review: A lovely and powerful book - This book is wonderfully written, with unforgettable characters. The storyline is beautifully layered, with multiple spiritual life lessons offered in the kindest and most realistic of ways. I found it to be a powerful story, so much so that I was tearful when it ended.

Good content
This was a good story with a ton of content in it. It was heavier than I was expecting but it was not overwhelming. Some twists in the story were intriguing. Some parts dragged out a bit but I still enjoyed the story.

Loved the book!!
I really enjoyed this book- lots of interesting characters and I'd love to see some of them with another book of their own. ;) Hope was a perfect name for the main character and the book itself gave so much hope to the broken people of this world.. Great first book, Mollie! I'm anxious for your next book to come out this summer.

Favorite read of the year!
Oh. My. Goodness. I'm not a writer so I don't know that I can properly describe how much I loved this book! Heartache, betrayal, lost loved ones, mystery, classic literary references, romance, healing, redemption..... times I had to pause and soak in the emotions of what I'd just read.
