NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • One of beloved author Debbie Macomber’s classic novels, this is a beautiful story of hope, healing, and the magic of the human heart. Physical therapist Joy Neilsen doesn’t take no for an answer when it comes to her patients. She’s tough yet compassionate, doing whatever it takes to get them back on their feet . . . and she’s met her match in Sloan Whittaker. Bitter, angry, resentful, Sloan is ready to give up. But Joy doesn’t let anybody quit, especially not a man as talented as this brilliant tycoon—a man who, somewhere along the way, has won her heart. After weeks trying to push Joy away, Sloan realizes he’s a fool. She’s determined to piece him back together, and now he knows why: Deep down, she’s as broken as he is. Joy is prepared to give him everything, and now Sloan wants to give her something in return. He can be the one to show Joy that she’s perfect inside and out—if she’s willing to let go of her own painful memories and make happy ones with him. BONUS: This edition includes excerpts from Debbie Macomber's Last One Home and The Inn at Rose Harbor. Published by Debbie Macomber Books

デビー・マコンバーが描くのは、単なるロマンスを超えた「魂の再生」の物語です。理学療法士のジョイと絶望に沈むスローン。二人の交流は、肉体的なリハビリを通じて互いの心の深淵に触れ合う、切なくも美しい癒やしのプロセスそのものです。強さと脆さが表裏一体となったキャラクター造形は、傷を負った者同士が響き合う瞬間の輝きを鮮やかに描き出し、読者の胸に明日への希望を灯します。 映像化作品では二人の距離感が視覚的に補完され情熱を煽りますが、原作の真髄はジョイの心理に宿る「テキストならではの静かな熱量」にあります。彼女が秘める過去の痛みと、それを乗り越える意志の力は、文字を通じて深く読者の心に浸透します。映像でカタルシスを味わい、原作で心理的機微を補完する。その相乗効果こそが、本作を不朽の名作たらしめる理由なのです。
