Sadie Barncastle used to spend her summers with her cousins at Barncastle Inn in Vermont. And there was a boy she didn't think was good enough to hang out with back then. Now she's returned to the Inn, now owned by her cousin Jayne, to open a gift shop in the castle style B&B.;Also newly returned to the area is Peter Appleman, now widowed with a 10-year-old daughter in tow. The grown-up Peter is much more attractive than the young boy Sadie tormented in the past. But as the Inn celebrates Holy Week, when Peter's wife died two years earlier, is he ready to move on? And if he is, will his daughter let him?In this novella we revisit Barncastle Inn, which was popularized in the collection Christmas Comes to Barncastle Inn. One of the authors of the collection, Lynette Sowell, wrote this tale bringing the hope of Christ's death and resurrection into crisp clarity against the backdrop of a Vermont spring. Isn't it best when a story can be fun (and sometimes funny) while still reminding you of truth?
