Description


After a devastating loss leaves Hannah Gibson questioning everything she once believed, the last place she expects to find hope is stranded in a Kentucky snowstorm. Rescued by a quiet, reclusive stranger, John Douglas, Hannah finds shelter in his remote cabin tucked deep in the winter woods. As the storm rages outside, long conversations and small acts of kindness begin to thaw wounds neither of them can fully hide. What starts as a chance encounter slowly becomes something far more life-changing. Determined to start over, Hannah purchases an aging farmhouse known as Cherry Grove. As she restores the neglected property, she uncovers long-buried secrets, hidden treasures, and clues to a mystery stretching back generations. But not everyone is willing to let the past remain buried. When her volatile ex-husband returns, old fears collide with new beginnings, placing Hannah and those she loves in danger. Faced with threats from the past and uncertainty about the future, she must decide whether she can trust God's plan—and the man who has quietly become the answer to prayers she thought she'd stopped praying for. A compelling story of faith, forgiveness, courage, and second chances, "Shelter at Cherry Grove" reminds us that even after the harshest winter, God can bring new life from broken ground.

About The Author


Janet Morris Belvin is a storyteller at heart and a lifelong Southerner, born in the peach-loving town of Gaffney, South Carolina, and raised in Savannah, Georgia. A former schoolteacher, she writes for magazines and newspapers, and lives in the historic heart of colonial Williamsburg with her husband. She spends her days crafting tales about people she'd like to meet, places she dreams of visiting, and ideas that won't let her go. A nostalgic soul who loves Roy Rogers, Howdy Doody, old hymns, Motown, bluegrass music, and Jesus, Janet can't bear to part with her children's old toys and other relics no one else wants (stored lovingly in an area of her attic she calls "the Archives"). She loves Diet Coke (the only acceptable soft drink), pie, classic movies, libraries, and is always trying to become a better person—with a little help from above. Though she loves to travel, her idea of a perfect day is one spent with her six children and nine grandchildren, surrounded by laughter, stories, and the kind of joy only family can bring.
