Bamboo and Lace [Paperback] Wick, Lori

Lily Walsh has spent her life in a Kashienese village, sheltered and serene. When her father sends her to Hawaii to stay with her brother's family, everything shifts — the noise, the chaos, the unfamiliar rhythms of American life. She's never felt more out of place. Enter Gabe Kapaia, her brother's best friend, whose quiet strength and faith mirror her own. As Lily navigates culture shock and her own guarded heart, she discovers that home isn't always a place — sometimes it's a person. Lori Wick writes gentle, faith-filled romance with emotional depth and characters you want to befriend. This is comfort reading in the best sense: warm, hopeful, and deeply satisfying. For readers who loved *Redeeming Love* or anyone craving a sweet, slow-burn romance with substance.
