Happiness Finds Big Man By R.E. Suter
In the quiet halls of Happy Valley Nursing Home, a cherry tree blooms - and beneath it, a beautiful friendship blossoms between Robert "Big Man" Malone, a retired trucker with a big heart and a bigger personality, and Evie Parker, a young aide seeking healing after the loss of her child.
What begins as a simple connection grows into something neither of them expected. With the help of quirky residents - including the unforgettable Rose McGillicuddy - and a nursing home full of secrets, mischief, and laughter, Big Man and Evie find hope, purpose, and eventually love.
As they build a life together through school challenges, surprise inheritances, and a most unconventional wedding, they transform Happy Valley into a true home for everyone who lives there. But even love must face the realities of time, and when Big Man's health declines, Evie carries forward their shared legacy with strength and grace.
From joy to sorrow and back again, Happiness Finds Big Man is a heartwarming tale about second chances, found family, and the kind of love that grows - and stays - under a cherry tree.
