Life has never been better for Abby and Roberto Silva. Abby's restaurant is one of the most popular in San Diego. Their relationship is stronger than ever-especially now that they have a baby on the way. And though Roberto's father never forgave him for leaving home-and Abby has been estranged from her 9wn family for years-they've come to realize that what others think doesn't matter. Only love does.

But after a robbery at the restaurant leaves them deeply shaken-and they receive word of Roberto's father's death-everything changes. They move to Esperanza, New Mexico, hoping that life will be simpler in this rural farming town whose very name means "hope." But when Roberto vanishes one night and doesn't return, Abby begins to discover just how many secrets a heart-and a town-can hold.
