My Hope Next Door

by Tammy L. Gray · 2016

When former rebel Katie Stone returns to her hometown after years away, she carries the heavy weight of a reputation that still haunts her. Determined to make amends and support her parents as her mother battles illness, Katie hopes the small‑town community will offer a fresh start. Instead, she finds the streets still whispering about her past. Across the fence lives Asher Powell, the pastor’s son, whose own heart is bruised by a recent breakup and the judgment of lifelong congregants. Though he remembers Katie as the high‑school troublemaker, he senses the sincerity of her newfound faith and desire for redemption. As they forge an unlikely friendship, both discover that forgiveness, hope, and a second chance are possible—even in a place that seems unforgiving. "My Hope Next Door" is a tender, faith‑infused romance about healing old wounds and finding love where you least expect it.
