Chasing the Clouds Away - Paperback

by Debbie Macomber (Author)

A tense encounter between two strangers leads to a surprising relationship that will alter their lives for the better in this inspiring andromantic novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.

Maisy Gallaher has always dreamt of becoming a nurse, a beacon of hope and healing for those in need. But when her father passed away, she selflessly set aside her aspirations to help her family. Despite knowing it was the right thing to do, she can't help but wish for the path not taken.

Chase Furst, on the other hand, is primarily focused on his own life and his work as a hardened bank executive and heir to afinancial empire. His childhood was marred by his mother's struggle with addiction, leaving him jaded and emotionally distant.

Then he meets Maisy, a beautiful woman full of optimism and kindness who can see past his defenses. To his surprise and annoyance, Maisy offers to help Chase in a time of need, despite just meeting him. The two butt heads, especially when Maisy declines his offer of payment. Instead, she asks him to pay it forward to someone else--not with money or a quick fix, but through a true act of selflessness. Chase doesn't know where to begin.

Despite his skepticism, Chase is determined to rise to this challenge. And doing good for others leads Chase back to Maisy, who begins to break down his walls, even as she resists risking her own gentle heart. But the more time they spend together, the more they realize how much they have to learn from each other, and how much love could make a difference in their future.
