In New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray's Spring's Renewal, a wounded soul finds hope, healing, and love where she least expected.
Bearing the scars from a fire during her childhood, Clara has lived a sheltered life. Her only companion has been her widowed mother, who needs Clara as a caregiver. With no faith that her appearance will ever bring true love her way, she has devoted herself to her mother's health and safety, while also working as Sugarcreek's schoolteacher.
Tim Graber is just passing through, helping out on his uncle's farm for the spring, when he meets Clara. Attracted by her quiet fortitude and how she nurtures her students, Tim sees Clara's beauty, not her scars. She is a light in the world, if only he can make her see it.
Clara never imagined falling in love and wants nothing more than to give Tim her heart. It's a risk that requires true faith, especially when a tragedy occurs that changes everything. . .
"Gray writes with honesty, tenderness, and depth. Her characters are admirable, richly-layered, and impossible to forget." - New York Times bestselling author Jillian Hart
