Denise Hunter's latest book is named, Blue Ridge Sunrise. On the opening pages, you find Zoe Collins heading back to her hometown of Cooper Falls, Georgia, with her young daughter, Gracie. The reason for her return is, unfortunately, to attend her grandmother's funeral. Zoe had left town five years ago, both to pursue her music career in Nashville and to hide the fact that she was pregnant!
Zoe soon learns that Cruz Huntley, a friend from her past, is managing the peach orchard, that her grandmother left to Zoe in her will. In light of the fact that Zoe and Cruz would most likely be seeing each other on a daily basis, Zoe knows that she must reveal her secret to Cruz. He is the father of her daughter, Gracie! Once both Zoe and Cruz are able to handle this revelation, they find another problem waiting for them. Due to the current financial state of the orchard, Zoe is planning to host a big sale at the local Peach Fest; however, as she looks out, over her property, one evening before the sale, she sees her barn ablaze. It is being consumed by fire!
As Zoe, Cruz and local officials attempt to discover who is at fault; unfortunately, they discover a man from Zoe's past whom she would rather forget. Hold on, through this fast-paced ending, when you will discover who is attempting to bring Zoe to her knees!
I received this book from Thomas Nelson in exchange for my honest review.
