Synopsis

In this sequel to Turn on No-Bridge Road, Claire Darling, a spunky redheaded mother and grandmother struggling with grief over the death of her beloved Nick, discovers his secret gambling addiction has left her virtually penniless. Shock morphs into panic—she could lose Woodbine, her ancestral home. While visiting a retirement home for seniors to console her mother-in-law, Claire has an inspiration. She could build and operate such a place on Woodbine’s forested acres! Convinced this enterprise can save her from bankruptcy, Claire sets out to persuade family and friends of the need for such a service in Devon County. Trouble begins when she seeks financial help from Steven Steeples, the wealthy D.C. developer who lives in a small subdivision on what was once part of the Woodbine estate. Can she convince this man she has successfully avoided for twelve years to partner with her? What might he expect in return?
