A mysterious boy with no memory. A bookish girl, with dreams beyond her sheltered life. Can love overcome the secrets that threaten to separate them? Catherine has never wanted for anything. Raised in opulence in Manhattan and the beautiful shores of Newport, Rhode Island, she feels threatened by her parents' desire to arrange her marriage. She would much rather stay home and read than socialize or, worse, select a husband who might not approve of her reading habit. Her father insists that she spend time helping at her brother's homeless shelter to understand how privileged she is, and her wariness of love and marriage is tempered when a mysterious young man with intense blue eyes is brought, cold and wet, to the shelter doorstep one night. Will wakes up in a strange room with vague memories of being caught in a thunderstorm as he began to search for shelter for the night after making his way to Newport from New York City. A beautiful girl sits beside him, but she leaves his care to another in what he assumes is shyness. The shelter offers assistance in ways he could only dream of, and as he searches for work and a home of his own, he finds himself enamoured of the angelic girl who is beyond his reach. The two are drawn to each other, sneaking glances in spite of her brother's disapproval, but Will's secrets will test the love that grows between them. Book two of the Cliff Walk Courtships series features Arthur's sister Catherine in her own discovery of faith, love, and hope against the backdrop of gorgeous turn of the century Newport, Rhode Island.

*contains sexual situations, strong language, violence, and depictions of abuse This has all the hallmarks of CLASSIC AMERICANA: rural small town life, poverty, dark family problems, love, and friendship. author Paul Russell Parker III An EMOTIONAL ROLLER-COASTER. author Nikki Landis If you enjoy Jodi Picoult, you'll love this book . . . definitely worth the read! Locklyn Gaines isn’t her mother, but the residents of her small southeastern Kentucky town don’t care. Her mother’s secrets are Lock’s shame, and every time her drunk stepfather uses her as a punching bag, Lock wonders how much her dying mother knows about what goes on in the crumbling old house her mother’s family has lived in for generations. Isaiah Parker hardly remembers life before the first day of kindergarten, before he became obsessed with the serious, dark-haired girl in sunglasses who lives just beyond the field behind his house and rides the school bus with him every day. Protecting Lock had been a fantasy for the child he was, but Isaiah and Lock are nearly finished with high school, and Isaiah knows that now is the time for him to save her. Her stepfather has other plans, however, and one night may be all they have to do whatever it takes to escape and start over again, together. What are readers saying about A Harvest of Stars? A beautiful portrayal of friendship, love, and loss. An emotional roller coaster. I absolutely loved this book, even when I had to stop reading for a few moments to dab the tears from my eyes so I could see the print! Well-written, exciting, dark story. Captured the meaning of everlasting friendship in the purest of forms. Ripped my heart out in so many ways. Poignant and timeless. Profound fiction that will linger in my mind. I was hooked and intrigued throughout. I read this cover to cover because I couldn't put it down.
