Widowed young, Genevieve Prentice dedicated her life to raising her four children. Now, though, they’re all grown and scattered to the wind, and Genevieve is ready for a change. In a flash of inspiration, she puts her home on the market and heads to Lake in the Clouds, Colorado, to renovate a rustic waterfront lodge with her sister. But just as they begin, Genevieve gets the shock of a lifetime: the arrival of her son.
Jake Prentice built a career out of being dependable, one that left him perennially stressed and overworked. Finally heeding his mother’s words of wisdom, he’s quit his job and is ready to find out what truly makes him happy. And now, as he stands surrounded by open sky and fresh, pine-scented air, he’s got no regrets . . . until former colleague Tess Crenshaw appears at the lake, forcing him to reassess what—and who—he really wants.
As they work together to renovate the lodge, Genevieve and Jake embark on a heartfelt and inspiring journey to learn about themselves, each other, and the true meaning of family.

Since the death of her husband over 20 years ago, Genevieve Prentice has fought to establish security for her four children. But when they all cancel on her for Thanksgiving, Genevieve has had enough. She gathers them to say that she has sold their childhood home and is moving to Colorado to open a lakeside resort with her sister, Helen. All of her children are shocked by this news, especially the oldest, Jake, who had filled a paternal role in the household. As Genevieve establishes her new life in Colorado, Jake endeavors to figure out who he is. To that end, he quits his job and establishes a connection with Tess, a former employee. As both Genevieve and Jake release themselves from the expectations of others, they find their own paths toward happiness. Readers looking for feel-good fiction about a big, loving family will enjoy this first installment in the Lake in the Clouds series. March creates believable characters, and the Prentice family is an easy one to spend time with.COPYRIGHT(2022) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
