Picking Up the Pieces
(2025)(The sixth book in the Search the North Country series)
A novel by Sherri Gallagher
When faith is tested and hearts are on the line, love becomes the ultimate rescue.
After losing her husband to a tragic overdose, Shelby Graves is doing everything she can to rebuild a stable life for her young son, Harlin. But the strain of financial hardship—and the constant judgment from her former mother-in-law, Mavis—makes every day a battle. Holding fast to her faith, Shelby finds a fragile peace living with her parents, even as Mavis tries to tear it down.
Next door, Jeremy Nolan, a kind-hearted veterinarian, quietly admires Shelby’s strength. Drawn to both her and Harlin, he offers friendship and a steady presence just when she needs it most. A gentle connection begins to form—one filled with possibility.
Then Harlin disappears into the wilderness with his loyal dog, Penny.
Refusing to wait helplessly, Shelby breaks the rules and sets out on her own with a trained search-and-rescue dog, determined to bring her son home. Jeremy, left behind at base camp, can do nothing but pray as the hours stretch into a painful eternity. When Shelby finally calls in—Harlin is alive, but injured—Jeremy races to meet them, desperate to help the two people who’ve come to mean everything to him.
A moving story of resilience, faith, and the healing power of love—even in the darkest of times.
