Sadie's Dream - Patti Jo Moore - Bog

After being deceived by her beau the previous year, library worker Sadie Perkins feels she's meant to remain single and serve as a missionary to orphans in Africa. Her plan is to return home to Riverview after a year, and open an orphanage in a lovely house she's admired since childhood. She didn't plan on losing her heart to someone who intends to demolish the house.
Widower Shaun O'Leary of Savannah yearns to make his father proud, and hopes to accomplish that by overseeing a hotel project in the town of Riverview. But first he must have a house demolished before hotel construction can begin. After meeting lovely Sadie Perkins in Riverview, he's puzzled why she seems upset when he mentions his plans. He's also saddened that she's leaving for Africa soon, because he's fallen in love with her.
As Sadie prepares to board a ship, she finally has peace and realizes what she should do, yet still feels sad that the house she loves is to be demolished. When Shaun suddenly has an idea to save the house Sadie loves, he rushes to the Savannah port to tell her, but the ship has sailed. When things seem hopeless, can dreams still come true?
