The Other Side of Goodbye: A small-town Alaska romance of widowed hearts, matchmaker kids, and second chances (Welcome to Redemption, Alaska Book 1)

Two widowed parents. Two grieving kids who refuse to stop being friends. And one small Alaska town that knows healing isn't a destination — it's a homecoming.When Tisha Binford arrives in Redemption, Alaska with her seven-year-old daughter Sadie, she isn't running from her late husband's memory — she's running toward it. Chase grew up in this small coastal town. His parents own the café where she's now perfecting her pie crusts. Sadie deserves to know the father she barely got to meet, even if it means Tisha has to face every memory in every corner of this town to give it to her.Ethan McGuire just retired from the Coast Guard with his future mapped out: help his parents run the family resort, raise his eight-year-old son Brody, and keep the rest of his heart locked away where it can't hurt anyone again. Cancer took Brody's mother. Ethan is doing his level best to make sure it didn't take him, too.When their kids end up tangled together in a school conflict — and somehow walk out of it best friends — Tisha and Ethan find themselves crossing paths in cafés and carpool lines, both pretending they don't notice the way the other one looks at their child like a miracle they barely deserved.Moving forward would mean honoring the people they lost without being defined by them. It would mean trusting that loving someone new isn't a betrayal of someone past. It would mean believing the other side of goodbye isn't an ending at all.And when an unexpected disaster brings the whole town to its knees, Tisha and Ethan are about to find out that grief doesn't have to be a wall. Sometimes it's the doorway.The Other Side of Goodbye is a small-town Christian romance featuring:A widowed-meets-widowed slow burn between two parents learning to love againTwo grieving children who become best friends and unlikely matchmakersA retired Coast Guard pilot hero with a heart guarded by armor he didn't ask forThe breathtaking backdrop of small-town coastal AlaskaA faith journey of healing, forgiveness, and the courage to keep showing upA natural disaster that strips away every reason not to choose lovePerfect for readers who love Becky Wade, Denise Hunter, Robin Lee Hatcher, Pepper Basham, and anyone who knows the most beautiful love stories sometimes start at the end of the first one.Welcome to Redemption, AlaskaBook 1: The Other Side of GoodbyeBook 2: The Long Way Back to YouBook 3: The Last Mile Between UsBook 4: The Echo of Your HeartBook 5: The Hidden Light of Her Read more
