My mother told me that she'd had a secret name for me. She called me her 'Shining Star.' Like a blazing trail of light, I was always the one thing Mom could come back to. When she knew nothing else, she still knew me. She said I'd been like a beacon of hope to guide her home. It was a title that rooted my love deeply for my mom. I could see the patterns of her life now. It became clear that she'd never been weak. My mother had only wanted to be loved...Mom's mental illness stigma made my early life anything but ordinary. But my father's quiet courage helped to guide us through. Later, from strong businesswoman to Alzheimer's, my mother would leave a legacy of lasting love, and Dad, one of incredible strength.

In the historic small-town of Ligonier, nestled in the Laurel Highlands, romance may be in bloom along with the spring wildflowers. McKenna O'Malley, a young housekeeper at a senior care facility, has always longed for love. Though she harbors a dark secret, she dreams about breaking free of the legacy of her father--a convict she's never met--and the shrouded mystery surrounding her mother's death. Tim McMillen struggles with his own demons. Plagued by alcohol, fueled by anger, he finds himself jobless, homeless and alone. When Tim and McKenna meet, they find one another as kindred spirits. But the challenges they face may threaten all chances for happiness and even push McKenna to the very brink of sanity. In the sequel to Love Woven in Time, we revisit Harry and Rose McMillen, whose love in their senior years is an inspiration to all who know them. But as Rose senses that her beloved is losing precious memories more rapidly, she begins to wonder how long they really have together before the ravages of time and age erase precious moments forever. Step into a quaint Pennsylvania town that will welcome you, warm your heart, and take you into a journey of longing, faith, and ultimately, lasting true love.
