Finding the heart's true home . . .

Lena Goodwin scribbled her desperate plea, "God help me," on an old ticket stub and dropped it into the golden bowl. Later she accepted a new job that would give her the funds to support herself and her mother, who suffers with Alzheimer's.

When she is offered a promotion to head Information Technology at The Golden Bowl, she takes the job to escape her lecherous boss and hide from her New York mob associates in Down East Maine.

Settling into a new life is complicated. Lena's ex-husband, Nathan Rhodes, is Director of Security for The Golden Bowl. Lena never stopped loving him, one of the many secrets she hid well.

When Nathan informs Lena of a threat against her family, she takes matters into her own hands. Healing from the wounds of her past could be deadly for Lena and those she loves.

Years later Annie discovered that property and opened her business to feed people-body, soul, and spirit. A large gold bowl on the restaurant's front porch gives the establishment its name and invites patrons to leave a prayer and take a prayer. When they do, lives change.
