Such a heartwarming story! Is everything perfect in Elijah and Hannah’s lives? No. Do they find themselves falling in love in spite of all of the events happening around them? Yes!
Elijah is struggling to make ends meet and trying to see his daughter as much as he can even though is ex-wife is trying her best to limit his visitations. He has hard choices to make in his life.
Hannah is an elementary school teacher. Elijah’s daughter, Brooklyn, is a student in Hannah’s fifth grade class. Hannah is comfortable in her classroom interacting with children, but she is shy and struggles with adults. And yet when she meets Elijah, she is drawn to him.
While both have different obstacles to overcome, as their love story unfolds we see how much they enrich each others’ lives. And isn’t that what love is about? Bringing out the best in one another, sharing their burdens, etc? That’s what we see here and it is a beautiful story!

I always think of small towns as boring, but Long Valley and Sawyer have so many intertwining lives and stories that each tale adds another thread tying them together. And this tale of emotional strength and everyday endurance is like adding another cousin to the family tree. Hannah and Elijah are grown ups yet so innocent. As much of America they live hand to mouth. They know each other but coming face to face an intense attraction forms. Trouble is they really can't date or they may lose their jobs. These characters draw you into their lives. The storyline is heartbreaking but also exemplifies the courage we all have to find sometime in our lives.
