Why do we love small town stories so much?
For me, it's all about community. Friendship. Resilience. Support. Overcoming challenges and finding your people. Readers of the Barrington Series have created their own community in a facebook group and it's just like the small town I write about.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I really enjoyed this book. It is a beautiful story about family, love, secrets, and the choices people make. The story is set in both 1911 and 2026, moving between the past and the present.
The story showed how one decision made in 1911 could affect a family for many years. I especially liked discovering the family history along with Abigail as the truth slowly came out.
The book was emotional at times, but it was also warm and hopeful. The story kept me interested and made me want to keep reading to find out what would happen next.
This was an engaging and heartfelt read. If you enjoy family sagas, historical fiction, and stories about strong women, I would definitely recommend this book. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
I love the friendships that they develop and make them to stay and live there because of beautiful community and lovely people. I love a small town romance.
I love this book, it's all about friendships, community, be together and help out with each others, hope and everything else.
I think it's a great way to connect readers with authors.
I very much look forward to hearing from the guest authors, regarding their experiences which lead them to become a giver of words, sentences and chapters in writing their books.
I thought it was wonderful that he loved to read but at the same time found it sad that he felt the need to hide it. I guess that speaks to stereotype cultures? But then again perhaps I'm overthinking it.
I loved the book.
I have truly enjoyed every single book in the Barrington Series, and this one was no exception Thank you Susan.
This was a feel-good story from start to finish, it's difficult to describe but it helped me with the place that I was in at the time I read this book.
Many thanks.
Once again another wonderful story from Barrington
