Surprised by Love in Bloomington, MN

Despite all Joan does to protect and nurture her family, tragedy strikes. Joan's desire to help leads her from the bohemian lofts of lower New York to the sun-drenched boardwalk of Venice Beach, to a snow-covered chauffeur's cottage on Boston's North Shore. From there she travels to war-weary Nicaragua. Her plan is to be helpful to the people there but instead she learns to protect and nurture herself.
