Delicate Escape (Sparrow Falls, #2)

by Catherine Cowles

I had one rule. There had to be a happy ending. There was enough hardship in the real world. I needed hope in my stories.

“But we can’t let one bad experience sour the rest of our lives. We can’t let the bad win. Make us stop living. If we lock ourselves down, we don’t just keep out the bad. We keep out the good, too.”

“You’re worthy, Shepard Colson. You don’t have to fix anything to be that. You don’t have to dig a million trenches or replace feet of corroded piping. You’re worthy just for who you are.”
