Former bad girl Katie Stone can feel the weight of her reputation settle over her as she drives home for the first time in years. Feeling deeply guilty about her past mistakes, Katie wants to do the right thing for once. But the small town where she grew up is not nearly as forgiving as she’d hoped. Despite it all, she’s determined to help her parents cope with her mother’s recent illness, and Katie finds a surprise ally in the man next door.
Asher Powell never minded being the son of a small-town pastor until a recent breakup leaves him wounded by lifelong members of his church. He remembers his new neighbor as a mean-spirited high school troublemaker, but he senses that her newfound faith and desire for forgiveness are sincere.
Through an unexpected friendship, two people from different worlds find peace, hope, and a second chance they never dreamed was possible.

My Thoughts
Katie Stone is a small town bad girl who ran away and turned her life around. More accurately, God turned Katie’s life around only she’s having a hard time forgiving herself for her past mistakes. Oh, I can relate to her there! I still remember the way the guilt and lies would often creep in and rob my joy in my early twenties when I was new to a life of faith.
Asher Powell is a straight-laced pastor’s son who set high standards for himself and stuck to the straight and narrow. The fallout from a complicated breakup has Asher regretting his actions and the resulting gossip shakes his faith in the church. Asher is angry with himself and frustrated by the accusations and gossip.
My Hope Next Door is a sweet romance full of redemption and hope. I’m looking forward to reading more titles by Tammy L. Gray!
I received the opportunity to read and review this title through NetGalley. The opinions expressed are my own.
