About this book

Emma Browning runs her boardinghouse with an iron fist, keeping everyone at arm's length behind her tough exterior—until the new pastor arrives and quietly begins changing everything around her, including her guarded heart. When Jonathan Atkins settles into her boarding house, his genuine faith and steady conviction start to crack through Emma's carefully built walls, even as she insists she wants nothing to do with his God. As Emma witnesses an unexpected transformation in the most unlikely person, she begins to wonder if faith and second chances might be real after all. This is a beautiful story about redemption, the power of unwavering belief, and learning to let love—both divine and human—transform you.

“Create a playlist called Courting Emma. Soft acoustic folk and indie singer-songwriter vibes—think gentle guitar, fingerpicked melodies, and whispered vocals. Warm, intimate hymnal influences meet tender Americana. The mood: quiet conviction meeting guarded hearts, faith whispering through doubt, slow-building tenderness in Victorian parlors. Artists like Bon Iver, The Lumineers, and Sufjan Stevens.”
