Previously published as A Place Beside Me by Carrie Lawson.
At fifty-six, Carrie Bennett has built a life she is proud of.
She has a home she loves, grown children and grandchildren who fill her world, a steady job, a church family, creative passions, and-perhaps most precious of all-the peace she fought hard to find. After a difficult marriage taught her how easily a woman can lose herself, Carrie has no intention of giving that peace away.
Then Jonathan Hayes enters her life.
At sixty-one, Jonathan is a Black widower who understands love, loss, faith, and beginning again. Carrie, a white woman whose own family has long reflected more than one race, isn't unfamiliar with interracial love. What she isn't prepared for is Jonathan himself-a steady, thoughtful man who doesn't need her to become someone else in order to love her.
What begins quietly through conversation, friendship, faith, and unexpected moments of connection slowly becomes something neither of them planned.
But loving again means confronting old fears. Carrie must decide whether she can open her heart without surrendering the woman she worked so hard to become. Jonathan must learn that loving Carrie doesn't mean fixing her life-it means honoring the life she already has.
Set in the fictional Texas town of Golden Briar, When the Gold Shows Through is a tender, faith-filled mature contemporary romance about family, healing, second chances, and two people discovering that love later in life can be something entirely different from starting over.
Because sometimes the darkness remains part of the picture-but the gold still finds its way through.
