A woman struggling to raise her daughter alone in a small Alaskan town finds her simple existence upended when the father of her child returns. . . .

Sweet Home, Alaska, was once a thriving, idyllic town, where A Stone’s Throw Hardware and Haberdashery and the Sisterhood of the Quilt were the cornerstones of the community. Then, in one fatal moment, two young lives were cut short, and everything changed. Now the Stone family businesses have closed, the diner is in the red, and the population has dwindled to 573.

After the tragic accident that took her sister’s life, Hope McKnight discovered she was pregnant, and gave up her dreams of college to raise her daughter. When Donovan Stone returns to sell his family’s properties and to cut final ties with Sweet Home, he’s shocked to find Hope still there—and a single mother. The pull between Hope and Donovan is as powerful as ever. But so are the secrets and lies stemming from that long-ago tragedy. Will they be able to overcome the past, or will the heartbreak of bygone days destroy their love again?

“One Snowy Night is the first in a new series from Patience Griffin and it is a story of forgiveness and second chances…… Patience Griffin has jam-packed a whole lot of good stuff in this first story and it was a very enjoyable read. She has brought together a small town with quirky well-meaning characters, a puppy, and a couple that need a chance to heal in order to move on with their lives. It was a plot driven story and it flowed nicely with moments of humor, introspection and heartache. Both main characters had major issues to face and slowly came to acceptance that they both had to move on from the past in order to have a better future. The story-line was well written and I loved how the whole town pitched in to see that the Hope and Donovan found their happiness once again. “
