Hope Harbor is a small town America analogue. Two tortured souls find their way to each other. Add in one kooky taco chef, one town recluse, an ailing cranberry farm, and a charity in need. Together that is the recipe for a redemption arc.
The story itself was pleasant enough and an easy read. it only gets two stars because I am not a fan of certain aspects of the narrative. There is a part in the epilogue which suggests one needs be religious in order to find love, or peace. It also suggests that one won't feel at home unless they are in a relationship or aspiring to be in one. Overall not a bad read.
