It went against what she loved about him—and the small-town life she could never leave. Now, with Matt's estranged family facing desperate times, it's time for him to come home. And to choose between the man Matt's become…and the woman who never stopped loving him.

And your business.Through the stories in this collection, you will meet the charming, eccentric, fumbling, flawed, wonderful people who live here. Journey with them as they experience grief and betrayal, watch their dreams crumble into dust, become hopelessly lost (literally and figuratively), and struggle to believe they can ever be forgiven—by those they love or by God—for their past actions.Whether their joy will be restored, their old dreams replaced with new, more joy-filled, meaningful ones, or they encounter unfathomable, life-changing grace and mercy, I leave it to you to discover.As you do, I pray that you will experience for yourself in “This Little Nowhere, Nothing Town” something even richer and sweeter than the baked goods at the Taste of Heaven Café—hope. Hope that, whatever you are going through, whoever might have hurt you, wherever you may have wandered, it is never too late to turn around and, like the prodigals in these stories, be welcomed with open arms back home.Although This Little Nowhere, Nothing Town is a companion to The Rose Tattoo Trilogy, telling the stories of several of the minor characters in those novels, the collection can be read on its own. Should you wish to enjoy the “full Rose Tattoo Trilogy experience,” the recommended order of reading guide at the front of the anthology will take you back and forth between the books and the stories.Either way, grab a hot cup of coffee and a warm blueberry streusel muffin, settle on a chair near the fire, and enjoy your visit to Elora!
