Harbor of the Heart

New York Times bestselling author Katherine Spencer returns to Thomas Kinkade's Angel Island...

Like the seashells that show up on the beaches, the people of Angel Island arrive from many places and with varied pasts. Yet they all find a safe harbor there…and the gift of hope.
 
Liza Martin alone knows that Daniel Merritt gave up his medical practice because he blamed himself for endangering a patient. But she is shocked to hear that Daniel is now considering returning to a medical career…which may mean leaving Angel Island—and Liza.
 
Daniel struggles with the decision, but they are both put to the test when a sailor wrecks his boat in a vicious storm. Liza witnesses Daniel’s medical skills firsthand and finally understands why she must let him pursue his career. If only that didn’t mean sacrificing the love of her life…
 
The sailor, Nolan Porter, survives thanks to Daniel’s skill. But moments earlier he had considered ending his life due to losing his career and his family. Over the course of the summer on Angel Island, Nolan’s tragedy becomes a blessing. And what better way to celebrate than to share one’s blessings with others...
