(But I do recommend reading them in order for optimal effect) So if you're looking for books that feel like coming home, visit Lockhart Falls - "Home is where the hart is"

Heart Knows No Miles is a very cozy, optimistic love story. More like a modern day fairy tale . It's my own love story , a memoir of how I found my husband online and we ended up together, a love that crossed oceans and I didn't move an inch.
