Six months after the death of his partner of twenty years, Len Parker is still grieving. Although he’s lonely, he doesn’t think he’s ready to find someone else, so his attraction to the new farmhand, Chris, causes him a lot of guilt and stress. His plan is to keep Chris at arms’ length, but what if the attraction is mutual?

Love Means…Healing is a sweet tale of finding love again after a terrible loss. Len nursed his partner, Cliff, through cancer. Six months later, he’s lonely and feeling at loose ends, but he feels like he should wait longer before even considering finding someone else. When Chris, a retired Marine about his age, gets hired on at the farm, Len is determined to ignore the man. Chris, on the other hand, is equally determined not to let Len get away with ignoring him.

Both Len and Chris are good men who have been through a lot. They’ve both lost loves in the past, and both of them value family and friendship. Their journey to love is unhurried and sweet. No new ground is broken here, but readers in the mood for a slow-paced, gentle tale will enjoy Love Means…Healing.
