You’re the Reason, / by Susan May Warren and Tari Faris (Home to Heritage, 1)
How could she ever love the man blamed for her brother’s death?
A novel of Redemption, Forgiveness, and Unrequited Love in this Home to Heritage novel.
She never intended to return to Heritage.
When an injury sidelines her, Grace Howell leaves her life as a ballerina and returns to Heritage, Michigan, to heal. Teaching dance is just a temporary gig, until she finds herself unexpectedly charmed by small-town life and her growing attachment to Seth Warner, a man from her past with a troubled history of his own.
He’s back in Heritage as a changed man.
The last place Seth thought he’d return is Heritage, but a felony record has narrowed his options, compelling him back to a community that hasn’t forgotten his transgressions. Dreams of starting a Ninja Gym give him purpose, yet it’s his entanglement with Grace—the woman he once let slip away—that ignites his desire to stay. Is this his chance at redemption and to live out the love he’s always harbored?
But can they forget the past?
When Grace’s old ballet company offers her a chance to come back, she’s faced with a heart-wrenching decision: pursue the dream she’s always known or stay with the community and man that have captured her heart, even as that love is put to the test.
But has Seth really changed?
Seth’s world is rocked by a confrontation that threatens to pull him back into the world he’s tried so hard to escape. He must fight to clear his name and protect his future with Grace, proving that his commitment to change is more than just talk.
With their happiness hanging by a thread, the decisions they make will define their fates and the heart of Heritage itself.

MY THOUGHTS
Warren & Farris write an inspiring romance that deals with the recovery and drug addiction, consequences of one’s choices, childhood trauma, and forgiveness. It weaves the themes of second chances, clean romance, faith elements, and finding one’s purpose throughout the story.
Secondary characters from Faris’ earlier Heritage books make a welcome appearance. While it is not necessary to read those books before reading You’re the Reason, most readers will enjoy reading them before (or after) this book.
