Book 5: Gift of Whispering PInes
Celebrate summers at the lake, where great food, timeless fun, and the promise of renewal await in Choosing Again, the uplifting fifth novel in the beloved Gift of Whispering Pines series.
Val cherishes her role as the quintessential boy mom. She enjoys her bustling life with four kids and her husband, Luke. But beneath the surface, she craves something entirely her own. Her dreams—buried under piles of sweaty baseball uniforms and yesterday’s dirty dishes—seem more distant than ever. Carving out time to revisit, much less pursue, her old aspirations seems almost laughable. She has children to raise, and money is tight.
Then the shrill ringing of Luke’s phone in the dead of night splits their world into before and after. Will the harsh realities of life tear her family and marriage apart?
Seeking solace, Val retreats to Whispering Pines, her big sister’s lake resort where they spent idyllic vacations as kids. There, amidst preparations for a nostalgic Fourth-of-July celebration, Val rekindles her passion for cooking. Inspired, she envisions a bold new venture: transforming an abandoned Airstream into a mobile culinary delight with her inheritance from her Aunt Celia.
New friendships at the resort create surprising temptations, and unsolicited advice leads to crushing revelations. Val must confront painful truths and the possibility of repeating past mistakes. This summer will be a time of choice and change. Can she find her path to happiness without losing everything she holds dear?
Join Val and her family in Kimberly Diede’s Choosing Again, where the beauty of Whispering Pines offers the perfect backdrop for a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the power to choose a new beginning.
