The Garden of Happy Endings by Barbara O'Neal
4.0
This features a minister, Elsa, her former fiancé, now a priest, and her sister, Tamsin, abandoned wife of a much-wanted embezzler. Elsa is a character to root for, who suffers from a crisis of faith following the brutal murder of a teenager in her Seattle community. Tamsin, a quilter, has to literally piece something of a life together after her husband skips the US, having pulled a Ponzi scheme and getting caught, leaving her with frozen bank accounts and a house she's barred from entering.
Joaquin, the priest, still has mixed feelings towards Elsa, his best friend, now that she is on sabbatical in their hometown of Pueblo, Colorado. But she has another love interest, Deacon, someone who is helping with the community garden they are building. And there are cute kids and sweet dogs and lots of food cooking. It was a fun read and ends in a HFN.
