The Helping Heart (Sisters of Stella Mare)

Four sisters alone on a hiking trip. Will it make them or break them?

 

Helen, nearly forty, returns to Stella Mare after twenty years with secrets. The village reminds her of things she'd rather forget, including her grief from her mother's death, but she hopes to strengthen connections with her family. Turns out, being with her sisters is impossible. They don't understand her, and she can't understand them, though she's tried.


When the bickering becomes too contentious to be ignored, Helen tries to fix it. A hiking trip is Helen's answer, even when the hike consultant suggests they're better suited for a day at the spa. To her surprise, her sisters agree to a four-day backpacking trip along the Bay of Fundy. Only a few kilometers from home, it's truly a world apart. The Fundy Footpath, beautiful and challenging, offers gifts: a chance to lead, to follow, to take care of each other, to allow others to care. But the gift you get might not be the gift you wanted. 

 

Adversity makes a trip into an adventure, and adventure abounds, testing everyone to their limits. With only themselves to count on, their connections are strained and tested, and the truth begs to be heard. Helen's secrets threaten to derail them all, but bringing her shame to light is too painful. Except these are her sisters….


On the hiking trail, perhaps no one will get what they want, but will they get what they deserve?
The Madison sisters embark on a journey of secrets and rediscovery in the final volume of the Sisters of Stella Mare quartet.

About the Author

Annie M. Ballard writes about the lives of women and the people who love them from her home in the Canadian Maritimes. Born and raised in New England, she brings a fondness for music, baking, small-town life, and the remarkable shared ancestry of Maritimers and New Englanders to her work. Having found her own Maritime roots later in life, she seeks to make the most of her mixed heritage and embraces both “ayuh” and “eh.”
