| Josephine Thorebourne doesn’t deserve happiness. Not after the mess she’s made. Mid-voyage, on the steamship Jameson, she learns of the tragic loss of her family’s money. Money she stole with the hopes of turning a profit. What should be a delightful voyage up the Canadian coast turns into a journey of regret. Josephine seeks the solace of the man she loves, only to find out he’s an imposter. Left with no other choice, she must return to her home town of Stony Creek and face the anger of those she’s betrayed. Owen Kelly was given the opportunity of a lifetime to steward on the SS Jameson. The work meant he could escape his difficult upbringing along the wharves of Chicago. When his heart falls for the woman in cabin eight, Owen must decide if he will continue his work on the ship or follow the love of his life to her Rocky Mountain home. |  |
As Josephine faces the repercussions of her decisions, the future becomes uncertain. Owen is the one person who knows everything and yet still sees the good in her. Will their love survive the challenges the Rocky Mountain town throws in their path?

Interview with Lisa
1. What one piece of advice would you like to give readers?
Nothing is more important than spending time with Jesus, the One who fill us with living water to nourish our souls.

2. Do you have favorite character(s) in this book?
Josephine, the heroine, was incredibly annoying in the first book of the series. I really enjoyed watching her mature in Rocky Mountain Restoration. She experiences a couple of poignant moments one involving a sunrise and another… Well, you’ll have to wait and see.

 | 3. How long did it take to finish writing this book? I found writing a novel during lockdown to be a difficult endeavour. There were many hours when I sat in front of my screen and couldn’t come up with a single word. I began writing in February of 2020 and I was supposed to turn in the completed manuscript in July. My publisher was gracious enough to grant me an extension until October…so, nine months. |
4. What drew you to write in this particular genre? I’m a romantic, I can’t help it. I want everyone to spend their life with a special someone. Add in Biblical principles, and you’ve got a great opportunity for entertainment.
5. If you could change one thing in your life, past or present, what would it be?
My father passed away when I was thirty-four. If I could, I would love to have him with us today.

More from Lisa
Have you ever smelled a whale’s breath? I have. The experience sparked the idea of taking the characters in Rocky Mountain Restoration on a pleasure cruise up the Canadian coast.
My husband and I vacationed in Ucluelet one summer, a quaint fishing village on the west coast of Vancouver Island. While there, we boarded a cabin cruiser with other adventure seekers to go whale watching.

| Not long after leaving the rocky shore, our experienced captain spotted the flick of a tale in the rolling waves, and guided the boat to a position hundreds of yards away. Within moments, to our delight and awe, a massive humpback breached mere feet from the boat. Its knobbed head rose before us, mouth wide open, hundreds of baleen plates dripping a murky red. The smell was one of the worst in my memory, a vulgar mixture of rotten fish, old road kill, and something indescribable. But what a privilege to encounter one of God’s magnificent creatures up close! |  |
A logging camp, high in the Rockies, is a long way from the pacific coast. That’s the very reason our nefarious antagonists from book one of the Rocky Mountain Revival Series, Josephine and Snoop, have chosen to board the SS Jameson under assumed names.
While I can’t promise you whale’s breath in the novel, I can promise you gorgeous scenery and other wildlife encounters as a backdrop for betrayal, thievery, and—of course—romance. Hop aboard!
