Restoring Faith

Faith McNeil knows how to fix just about anything—except her own life. As Laurel Ridge’s only female carpenter, she’s built a reputation for being tough, capable, and fiercely independent. But when her father’s unexpected health scare leaves her juggling his construction company and a mountain of medical bills, Faith begins to question if she can shoulder the load alone. The last thing she needs is the distraction of a charming newcomer who seems determined to work his way into her life.

Ryan Dalton is searching for more than a fresh start—he’s searching for home. After leaving behind the high-stakes world of finance, he returns to Laurel Ridge to restore his grandparents’ neglected farmhouse and transform it into a bed-and-breakfast. The only problem? His knowledge of tools ends at wielding a calculator. Desperate for help, he hires Faith, whose practical nature and skilled hands are exactly what he needs—and whose guarded heart is exactly what he can’t seem to ignore.

As the two work side by side, Ryan’s easygoing faith and big dreams challenge everything Faith thought she knew about herself and her future. But when a long-buried family secret comes to light, Faith finds her carefully constructed world unraveling. With her trust shaken and her heart on the line, she must decide whether to push Ryan away—or lean on the man who’s shown her what it means to let love, and God, into the cracks.

Set against the backdrop of the picturesque West Virginia mountains, Faith and Ryan’s journey is a story of resilience, redemption, and the unexpected ways love finds us when we need it most.

Welcome to Laurel Ridge, where hearts are mended, faith is restored, and love always finds a way.
