A Love for Lizzie

Childhood friends joined by a painful past…
Can love blossom between them?

After her father falls ill, Lizzie Miller and her family desperately need help to keep the farm going during harvesttime. With silage waiting in the fields, Lizzie pours herself into the daily chores, hiding her face and the lingering scars from the barn accident that claimed her brother.

Neighbor Paul Burkholder is eager to lend a hand—and to court Lizzie. He steps in to haul hay and repair equipment, hoping his steady presence will finally coax her guarded heart into the light.

When Paul discovers her secret watercolor landscapes, he offers to sell them in his new furniture shop to help lift the family's financial burdens. But Paul has a secret that he fears could push Lizzie away.

Haunted by his own quiet regrets from that fateful afternoon, he longs to unburden his soul before old doubts tear them apart. Can they finally heal from a tragedy in their pasts…and open their hearts to each other?
