 Welcome to the timeless charms of small-town Watervalley, Tennessee—where young Dr. Luke Bradford is beginning to feel at home…
When he comes to the aid of a woman at the grocery store, Luke is fascinated to learn she is Estelle Pillow, the cheery sister to his prickly housekeeper, Connie. Estelle wants to open a bakery in town—and Connie’s disapproval of the venture stirs up a whirlwind of emotions between the siblings. But Luke’s attention is soon diverted when he learns about a long-ago double murder.…
During World War II, an unknown traveler arrived in town, and before the day was over, he and the local baker lay dead near the bandstand at the local lake. The incident has since been exaggerated into Watervalley lore—with the newcomer rumored to have been a German spy. As Luke pieces together exactly what happened, he realizes that the consequences of this event have rippled painfully into the lives of townsfolk he has come to know.
As winter gives way to spring, Luke keeps busy at the medical clinic and enters a tentative, exhilarating romance. And when his support of Estelle’s bakery collides with new revelations about the old murder, Luke witnesses the true power of reconciliation working in the hearts of those he holds dear—a revelation that will change his life.

      In the second Watervalley novel (following More Things in Heaven and Earth, 2013), Luke Bradford is settling into the small Tennessee town where he agreed to serve for three years as the only doctor in exchange for having his medical-school debts paid. The growing cast of characters includes his housekeeper, Connie, and her irrepressible sister, Estelle, who wants to open a bakery in town; reclusive widower John Harris, who becomes a good friend; Ann Patterson, a traveling nurse who takes a job at the clinic; and Will Fox, a 12-year-old computer whiz who lives next door. The Fox family is under a cloud because of a murder that occurred back in 1940, and Luke is intrigued enough by Watervalley's only homicide to do some sleuthing. Also on tap is a budding romance between Luke and sixth-grade teacher Christine Chambers. Except for the fact that the pace is slower and the narrator is a 30-year-old-man rather than a 70-year-old woman, there are similarities with Ann B. Ross' Miss Julia series: a close-knit southern community, mildly quirky characters, a touch of mystery, and an easy-to-swallow dose of Christian faith.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
