I was drawn to the idea of the book by the setting and the cover art. The story was just as cozy as the feeling the cover art conveyed. Imogen was lost and alone when she arrived in Middlemass. But I loved the characters she met as she made the effort to become part of the community. They were friendly and welcoming. And, even though she was wary of Gabriel, he was the one she ended up turning to for help. This was a heartwarming story, offering all the feels you think of when you think of a small town. It's perfect for anyone looking for a delightful, cozy read with a happy ever after ending. Just like the title promises.

Finding One's True Path
An all to familiar story about love and loss... a young woman, Imogen, finds herself adrift after the sudden death of her husband. She moves into the house, in the English countryside, her husband had purchased just before his death. She is adrift; not having an anchor and not knowing what to do with herself. How is she going to afford the house without an income? Her husband never encouraged her work; he wanted her to be a "proper housewife". This is Imogen's tale of finding the fortitude and confidence in herself to make a new life for herself and take chances. Along the way she makes marvelous friends in her new "hometown" and finds herself getting involved in the village. A poignant look at widowhood and new beginnings. An adventure of self-discovery for the main character. Wonderfully written with realistic characters. This is a delightful and charming story.
