On Love's Gentle Shore--A Novel

July 1, 2017
Natalie O'Ryan left Prince Edward Island at 17, fleeing her neglectful and abusive parents and the vicious gossips of her small town to go to Nashville. Now, 15 years later, she returns with her music-producer fiance to prepare for a huge wedding. Try as she might, it is impossible for her to avoid the people who knew her before, and she feels haunted by her family's bad reputation. And her old best friend, Justin, with whom she has had no contact since she left, owns the only available venue for her wedding. When her fiance is called back to Nashville, Natalie discovers she may have been mistaken about a lot of things. Johnson's chaste but not preachy inspirational romance about deep wounds and forgiveness will resonate with readers.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
