About Woodlands

The charming town of Glenbrooke, Oregon, welcomes readers once more to delight in a contemporary love story. In this all-new offering in the heartwarming Glenbrooke series, bestselling author Robin Jones Gunn's characters get two lessons on love: it's not based on performance and its motives must be pure. When Leah Hudson, the "ugly duckling" among beautiful sisters, meets mysterious newcomer Seth Edwards, she thinks someone could love her after all. Their friendship grows, but Seth has things he must work through before he can open himself to anyone. An unexpected inheritance serves to complicate matters that strike to the core of Seth's and Leah's hearts and faith.

Leah Hudson loves to give. But when others want to give back? Well, that’s another story entirely!

After years of pouring herself out for others, Leah, an average twenty-seven-year-old woman, finally finds herself receiving. She has her own cottage in Glenbrooke, wonderful friends, a great job at the hospital, and the attention of Seth Edwards, the new guy in town. She even wins a cruise to Alaska when she accidentally dials the number of a radio station!

So why can’t Leah relax and enjoy this new season of her life?

When an inheritance of fifty acres of prime Oregon woodlands is left to her—with a certain condition attached—Glenbrooke’s town lawyer, Collin Radcliffe, prompts Leah to question Seth’s motives for his interest in her. Only by turning her affections in a new direction will Leah be able to hear the true song of this springtime of her life.

Leah Hudson is “Auntie Leah” to almost every child in Glenbrooke, Oregon. One of the only single women left in her circle of friends, Leah takes enjoyment from the life she’s built in the small town. People depend on her and she loves to serve them, giving without reserve.

After years of pouring herself out for others, Leah finds herself in unfamiliar territory—at the receiving end of attention from newcomer Seth Edwards. She’s surprised to realize she wants more out of her carefully constructed life than her cottage in Glenbrooke, wonderful friends, great job at the hospital, and even a cruise to Alaska. And as her relationship with Seth deepens, she thinks she’s found it.

But when she inherits fifty acres of prime Oregon woodlands—with a certain condition attached—Glenbrooke’s town lawyer, Collin Radcliffe, prompts Leah to question the motives driving Seth’s interest in her. Will Seth prove worthy of her trust? Or is he hiding a past that will destroy their future?
