Not everyone gets a second chance to make things right.
She just got three.
She swore she’d never come back to Wishing Bridge.
She needed nothing. No family. No links to a past that broke her heart. Heather Johnstone was successful in her own right, by her own actions. She’d built a pristine life and gave no one the right or opportunity to disrupt it, but then her father called… the one person who’d loved her. Who’d cared.
And there was no other choice, it seemed.
She’d go back and face a past that was now tragically changed and fairly unimportant, but that’s the thing about growing up. You don’t always know what’s important until it’s too late.
Hank Reynolds had spent over a decade trying to inspire change. Change in a shrinking town adjacent to Wishing Bridge, and a school district that serviced several towns. Hank took his teaching and coaching seriously. Seriously enough to help no small number of kids find their way to success, but when a tragic flood takes a major toll on the little town of Hopewell, the aftermath stuns the surrounding communities with the loss of life and livelihood. Who can help? Who can help them re-establish the good old days in a place that had lost their grip on good a long time ago?
Hank knows what the school needs the minute he sees Heather. Northeast Wyoming Central needs an administrator that puts kids first, all the time. Not just when it looks good for a photo op. And when his phone calls bring back more of their high school football teammates, Hank knows something else is happening… Coming back to Wishing Bridge isn’t just good for the town and the schools… It’s good for the prodigals.
Because whoever said you can’t go home again was wrong and Hank Reynolds intends to prove it, but when Heather’s life takes a sudden turn, he realizes something else: sacrificial love means putting others first. Even if it’s the person you love more than anyone else on the planet.
Grab a cup of coffee, a Coke or a spot of tea and join the folks of Wishing Bridge, NY as they gather folks in to help, to love, to fix, to nurture… Welcome back to Wishing Bridge… where prayers and wishes mingle to make dreams come true.

My Thoughts on Reclaiming Hope in Wishing Bridge
This book was in a word heartwarming.
I had never read a book by Ruth Logan Herne. Not sure how I’ve missed her! This book was everything I usually look for when I want a good series to immerse myself in.
✔️Clean
✔️Romance
✔️Faith-filled
✔️Character Builds
✔️Well laid out
I loved the care that went into laying out this book and how Ruth Logan Herne took the time to craft the characters to such a degree that you felt like they were long lost friends, and you were deeply involved in their lives.
The faith elements interwoven were not in your face preachy but rather lived out through the characters lives. While adding in just the right touch of romance. The challenges that the characters faced were also quite believable and realistic.
I definitely enjoyed this book and I am going to go back and read the others in the series!
4 Stars.
