Overall Content Rating: Parental Guidance PG
This contemporary second-chance romance follows a divorced mother who returns to her hometown so her teenage daughter can reconnect with her father and stepsister. Faith and forgiveness come up in the story in a mild way, along with kissing and very light innuendo rather than explicit intimacy on the page. Parents may want to know about a short reference to unwanted touching involving a young person, past parental mistreatment and intimidation discussed in dialogue, emotional fallout from an abusive upbringing, and occasional mild language and name-calling. Sports rivalry and family arguments add tension but sampled material does not show graphic or sustained violence.
