The story is a sweet but very emotional second chance romance. High school sweethearts that were both acting wild and sneaking around to be with each other, and then he disappears. It’s been nearly ten years since Kim has seen Luke, and then he walks into her parent’s bakery.
“Being in love was like a toxic disease, and she didn’t know when she’d have the courage to fall in love again. Why couldn’t God lift this awful pain? How long would it take for her to heal?”
Kim Taylor has moved back to Bethlehem, back to her parent’s house, and helping her dad with the bakery. She is not really happy, there is jealousy because of how her father treats her compared to her sister, and it is like no matter what she does, it’s never good enough. She hasn’t shared some of what is bothering her, including her heartache. Her Dad seems to still remind her of what she did wrong as a teenager, and not seeing what she has done right as an adult.
Luke Barnes and Kim were hot and heavy in high school, sneaking around together, even having sex. When he and his mother left town, he doesn’t even say goodbye to Kim, and that really hurt her. But now he is back, a widower and the father of a little girl, Lisa, who wants to work in the bakery with Kim. Luke works during the day and is also taking college classes, knowing that to give his daughter a better life, he needs a degree. Struggling with Calculous, he will find a tutor when Kim learns he needs help, and she is a CPA.
Fast forward nearly ten years and both Kim and Luke are different people, both have matured, and both of them have also found Christ and living their lives as a Christian. They know they are imperfect people who each made mistakes, but God has forgiven them, and they need to move forward. The more time they spend together, the closer they are becoming. Will they be able to put the hurt of the past behind them and make a go at a second chance? Will some of the heartache they each endured hinder them from moving forward or will they be able to see that they have each grown because of Christ?
The story is full of truths and morals. Nothing is solved by stewing over it, and when open, honest conversations take place, each party has a clearer picture, especially when they don’t realize the hurt they may be causing. Life is full of mistakes, and forgiveness, and second chances at happiness. You can either live your life in fear of what happened in the past, what could happen, or you can embrace each day as a gift and make it perfect, by being present.
