Sage McKnight is an ambitious young architect working at her father’s firm who takes on her most challenging client in Mason Tucker. The former pro baseball player is still healing from the physical and emotional scars after a plane crash left him a wheelchair-using single dad, and he’s determined not to let anyone breach his emotional defenses. Sage knows her work on Mason’s new home in Hope’s Crossing is her best work yet, and she won’t let her grumpy client prevent her from showcasing her work personally.
All is Bright by RaeAnne Thayne is another wonderful Christmas story set in Hope’s Crossing. Sage is an architect who has designed a beautiful and practical home for Mason to live in. Mason is still rather an angry and grumpy man after all he has been through. But he has come a long way, his nine year old daughter Grace providing much of the incentive – just by being.
Sage has family in Hope’s Crossing – many of them. She has quite a back story. As she spends time here, away from her San Francisco office, she is more and more delighted by her people here and more and more intrigued by Mason himself.
As well we have the story of Taryn, injured in a car accident that killed Sage’s sister. The driver of the car – Charlie has still not forgiven himself. But… Taryn and he have been good friends. Now he is back in Hope’s Crossing to see to his father’s estate. Taryn is finding she is feeling more than friendship for him, but he is avoiding her. Taryn also featured in another book in Hope’s Crossing. I intend going back there!
A community of people who care for each other, a number of people who have disabilities of one sort or another, at various stages in their healing. Family who are there or wanting to be there if they can only be accepted. Another one of those books where the reader wishes it was real and that you could live there.
There is of course romance and love and lots of hope. Inspiring really. If you like a easy to read, warmhearted book with characters you’ll want to know more, I sure recommend this book.

I loved this one too and it made me want to go back and read the earlier books in the series around the time of the accident. I just love Thayne’s books!
