To Follow a Dream: A new home. An old journal. Will the young widow find the secret to her present in the past? (Lake Nolan Summers)

MaryRose Elliott needs a new landscape. Her home in Hertford, North Carolina has become a symbol of loss. Widowed at twenty-three was tragic. But four years later, the loss of her parents and grandmother to a drunk driver is as insurmountable as the mountains of southern West Virginia where she relocates. MaryRose and her Dachshund puppy, move into a small cabin on the edge of Lake Nolan. She finds solace relaxing at the lake, collecting herbs and flowers, and reading the journals her great-great-Gramma Rose penned in the mid1800s.Widower Randall Cobb gets more than he expected when he rents the lake cabin to the beautiful redhead. Rescuing her from rattlesnakes, her painful past, and a vengeful teenager was not part of his plans. Neither was falling in love. To Follow a Dream is inspired by Chandra Smith’s love for summertime in the mountains, one man’s dream of finding his bride, and his faith to follow that dream into his future. Readers step into summer in the mountains of West Virginia and find history, a chance to dream, and fall in love again.
