If someone told Jillian Parish moving on is easy, she would argue that it depends on what someone is leaving behind, and how much chocolate is available.
Jill has worked hard to build up a life far different than the one scarred by her mother’s alcohol abuse. She works at a busy publishing house, is writing the novel of a lifetime, and goes home alone every day to a little dog, a spotless apartment, and a piece of 70% cacao and sugar. But in one day, Jill’s phone is stolen, she is tackled by a childhood love who has no idea who she is, and finds her long-lost sister on her front doorstep. In two days, Jill’s carefully controlled world is turned upside-down. In three days, she wonders if chocolate will ever be enough again.
When Scott Gentry moves to the city of Portland, Oregon and spots Jillian at church, he learns her reputation as a lost cause. But something compels him to get Sister Parish’s attention, no matter how difficult that may prove. As Scott stumbles, crashes, and falls into Jill’s guarded world, he finds himself with more attention than he bargained for, and more willing to do anything he can for the woman who is not made of stone, but of strength.
Grace brings Jill and Scott together, but can grace erase the past, or save the abandoned hearts left in its wake?

How did u come up with the name Scott gentry being that’s my name just out of curiosity
I just saw this! Wow. My brother’s middle name is Scott, and I kind of patterned the character after him. For his last name I scrolled through the phone book until something resonated with me. Very interesting. I really like your name. 🙂
I really liked this book. Very well written, believable characters. Deals with some tough issues in a very respectful way. 5 stars. 🙂
