Her Peaceful Heart

She guarded her secret well.
He finds out he's a father after 33 years.
Laura and Scott's secret baby reunion romance is coming in the fall of 2026!
Laura Berg has guarded the secret of her son’s paternity for 33 years, but that all crumbles when her son visits her at Maranatha Inn in Montana. Not only do her old Bible school friends note Michael’s resemblance to a former classmate who became a famous actor, but Michael tells her he knows who his dad is… and has reached out.
Scott Sheehan always wondered what went wrong with his secret college girlfriend who ghosted him after grad. Yes, they’d made some mistakes, but still, why? His acting career hiccups when his wife divorces him, but his shock at learning a young man named Michael Berg claims to be his son brings the past into sharp focus.
Scott meets Michael in Montana with fear and trepidation at seeing Laura again, but maybe he can get some answers as to what went wrong 33 years ago. How can they get past the trauma of the revelations and find peace this Christmas season?
