Home to heal...and find a new beginning?
The Rocky Mountain Haven series concludes
During a deadly earthquake, Gemma Andrews lost her husband...and her memories. Handyman Jake Elliot reunites her with her family—and provides the support Gemma needs, especially when she learns about a secret child from her husband’s past. Gemma, Jake and little orphaned Alexa have histories marked by tragic loss, but will they find a brighter future together?
LOIS RICHER loves traveling, swimming and quilting, but mostly she loves writing stories that show God’s boundless love for His precious children. As she says, “His love never changes or gives up. It’s always waiting for me. My stories feature imperfect characters learning that love doesn’t mean attaining perfection. Love is about keeping on keeping on.” You can contact Lois via email, [email protected], or on Facebook (loisricherauthor).

He opened his mouth to protest, studied her for a moment, then he sat down and huffed out a huge sigh.
“I’m only the Haven’s handyman, Gem,” he said weakly.

“Gem, are you okay? You look...weird.”
“The picture that was in my wallet. That must be Alexa.” Suddenly the sun felt too hot, the problems too large, the decisions too overwhelming. Somewhere in the recesses of her brain she thought she could hear a man’s voice calling. Take care of her. Take care of Alexa.
The world wobbled. Had she really heard that, or was she dreaming? She felt so strange.
“Jake?” she whispered.
“Yes, Gem?”
“Have I ever fainted before?” Gemma didn’t hear his reply as she slid off her chair onto the patio.
Thank you for returning to The Haven. I hope you enjoyed Gemma’s and Jake’s journeys to discover that God’s plan is to help us become more like His son.
This was a difficult story to write. Losing that special person in your life is a heart-wrenching road to travel. There can be plenty of roadblocks to recovery when we demand explanations from God. While your heart aches with loss, your soul cries out for reasons why. Not getting
