Six years after a painful divorce, Josh Conrad is happy traveling the world as a photographer. When he arrives in Portugal, he plans to complete the assignment as quickly as possible. What he doesn’t plan for is Sofia, the girl he baptized eleven years earlier on an LDS mission, and soon he’s making excuses to prolong his trip.
Sofia Monteiro leads a structured life in Braga, Portugal, teaching high school by day and caring for her mother by night. After she reconnects with Josh through mutual friends, the memory of a failed relationship and her new graduate program are enough reasons to stay away from him.
As they collaborate on a project, Josh is wary of repeating his old mistakes and Sofia hesitates to spend time with an American who’s only passing through.
Can two people with wounded hearts bring themselves to trust their dreams to each other?

A few Q&A's with the Author!
1. Which did you find more difficult: writing the book or marketing it? Why?
I worked on this book for three years and had to rewrite it from scratch after I learned how to write better and how to tell a good story. That was hard. I'm a slow writer. As for the marketing, since it just came out in January, it's still an ongoing (very slow) process.
2. What is the best advice you received growing up?I worked on this book for three years and had to rewrite it from scratch after I learned how to write better and how to tell a good story. That was hard. I'm a slow writer. As for the marketing, since it just came out in January, it's still an ongoing (very slow) process.
I can't remember any one piece of advice in particular over another, just a strong sense of honesty and work ethic. Books were important to my mother, and I grew up loving books as well.
