A Place to Call Our Own: A Small-Town Christian Romance (A Place Called Home Series)

She’d spent six years holding everyone together. She never thought to ask who would hold her.

Kenzie Fletcher is the woman who shows up. When her father died, she stepped in. When her siblings needed her, she stayed. When her nonprofit needed saving, she got in the car. She’s been the scaffolding for everyone else’s life so long she’s forgotten what it feels like to have one of her own.

She wasn’t supposed to end up in Ashford, Tennessee.

A dead car and a mechanic named Hank leave her stranded in a town she’s never heard of. What was supposed to be a quick meeting to save her nonprofit’s funding becomes something she didn’t plan for, didn’t budget for, and can’t seem to leave behind.

She definitely wasn’t supposed to meet Micah Cord.

The founder of a community investment firm, Micah is thoughtful, principled, and quietly carrying wounds of his own. Raised in foster care, he’s built a life that looks solid from the outside — but he’s never fully unpacked. Not his bags. Not his heart. Not the part of himself that still checks exits in every room he enters.

Their connection is immediate and inconvenient. He controls the funding her families depend on. She’s the program lead his board is evaluating. Every conversation pulls them closer. Every professional boundary reminds them why closer is dangerous.

When a competing organization threatens the partnership and a personal crisis forces Kenzie to confront the God she’s been serving but not surrendering to, she faces the hardest question of her life: Can she stop earning her place and simply receive one?

Because the woman who holds everything together eventually has to open her hands. And sometimes the bravest thing you can do is let yourself be held.

A story about the courage to stop performing, the faith to stop earning, and the terrifying, beautiful act of letting someone — and God — see the woman underneath the work. Perfect for readers who love slow-burn romance, richly drawn small towns, and love stories where two people who’ve been surviving learn what it means to finally stay.
