Still Healing
By Jem Johnson
0 - Default Title
Description
When Tessa Bloom married the love of her life, she agreed to one thing she never thought would matter-a child free life. For decades, her husband's steady devotion was enough. Until the day it wasn't. After losing him to illness, the silence he left behind isn't peaceful-it's hollow. Now in her late forties, Tessa finds herself aching for a family she thought she'd made peace without.
Her plan is simple: adopt a child, build a new beginning, and fill her home with laughter again. But adoption agencies don't see mothers in their forties-they see risks. Hope comes unexpectedly through a new student in her yoga class: a Child Protective Services agent who knows a pregnant teen in need of a safe place to stay.Tessa opens her door-and her heart-but love has a way of complicating even the purest intentions. Especially when she begins to fall for the agent's ex-husband; a devoted father doing his best to hold his fractured family together.
But when the CPS agent who connected her to the teen mother discovers that Tessa and her ex-husband have found comfort in each other-and that her own children are beginning to see Tessa as home-the peace Tessa's fought so hard to protect threatens to unravel. Now Tessa must decide what she's truly ready for: the simplicity of single parenthood, or the beautiful, messy chaos of building a family from the broken pieces of her heart.
Poignant, romantic, and full of second chances, Still Healing is a story for every woman who's ever wondered if her time has passed. Because sometimes, the heart's deepest longing isn't behind us-it's what we're brave enough to reach for next.
