by Maggie Christensen (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 261 ratings

When Lyn Hudson takes early retirement, her plan is to fulfil a lifelong dream to travel the world. But news of her father’s death forces her back to Granite Springs; the town she fled when she was eighteen. While she has fond memories of roaming the paddocks with her childhood friend, Ken, life on the land was definitely not for her.

Ken Thompson, cheated out of his inheritance in the family property after an argument with his father, has built up a successful business in Granite Springs as a realter and stock and station agent. When the son he intended to inherit his business returns to work on the family property, his plans for the future are shattered and family relations further strained.

Thrown together by circumstances, the pair discover the spark which they denied forty-five years earlier is still smouldering. But time has passed. They are different people.

Is it possible they’ll find common ground and start afresh, or will Lyn once again follow her dreams and abandon Granite Springs and their chance at happiness?

The Life She finds is the fourth book in the Granite Springs series set in a small Australian country town.

If you enjoy heartwarming second chance tales of love in later life, you’ll love this book. Download The Life She Finds today,

Maggie Christensen writes about mature heroines coming to terms with changes in their lives - women who have learned to live and love in later life and the heroes worthy of them, heartwarming stories of second chances. Readers often describe her books as feel-good reads with people you'd want as friends.

After a career in education, Maggie Christensen began writing contemporary women's fiction portraying mature women facing life-changing situations. Her travels inspire her writing, be it her frequent visits to family in Oregon, USA, her home on Queensland's beautiful Sunshine Coast.

From her native Glasgow, Scotland, Maggie was lured by the call 'Come and teach in the sun' to Australia, where she worked as a primary school teacher, university lecturer and in educational management. Now living with her husband of thirty years on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, she loves walking on the deserted beach in the early mornings and having coffee by the river on weekends. Her days are spent surrounded by books, either reading or writing them - her idea of heaven!

    I am really enjoying being transported to the small Australian town of Granite Springs with each new story in this series. The characters are warm and likeable and the reappearance of characters from other books in the series is like catching up with old friends. I'm looking forward to the next book already!

    As I stated in a previous comment her tales still end too abruptly. The stores are quite enjoyable but sometimes they move too slowly. It really should not take a rational person to make an obvious decision without something catastrophic happening to the one they love.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another fabulous story in the Granite Springs series
    Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2020
    I loved this visit back to Granite Springs, MS Christensen knows how to pull a reader into her stories these characters are so real they are becoming friends, and this time we meet up with Lyn Hudson and Ken Thomson both grew up in Granite Springs but Lyn left as soon as school finished and Ken stayed, can they finally find the love that they deserve?

    Lyn has taken early retirement and is planning to travel she is divorced and her daughter is grown with children of her own, but when her father dies she goes back to home to her mother and the town she left so many years before life on the land was never going to be for Lyn. She runs into her old friend and neighbour Ken and with a series of events change Lyn’s plans and Ken is there as support and a friend but there is also growing feelings can she change her life around to find happiness.

    Ken Thompson loved being on the farm and he had planned to be there forever with a wife and have a family but when things change and he loses the farm he moves into town and becomes a realtor marries and has a son, divorced now he leads a quiet life. When he runs in Lyn his school sweetheart the girl he thought he would be with arrives in town it is not long before he is helping her out and enjoying some lovely time with her and those feelings from years ago are building, it is time for a new life.

    Love is there for everyone to have, no matter your age and Lyn and Ken find the happiness and love that they deserve, I am loving this series and catching up with friends is always good. I cannot highly recommend this book and series enough MS Christensen is a wonderful story teller her older heroes and heroines are so good, thank you for another fabulous story I loved it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I love her mature stories!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2020
    In this fourth book of the Granite Springs series, Maggie tells the story of Lyn, a recently retired headmistress of a school who returns to her hometown for her father's funeral. While at home, her mother breaks her hip and Lyn is not only forced to postpone her grandiose plan of traveling the world, but of looking the past "right in the eye" when she runs into her former best friend/boyfriend from forty-five years before, Ken, the very successful owner of a real estate company in town. While they both grew up on neighboring sheep farms, he wanted to be the successor to his family's legacy, but Lyn had other ideas and left at the age of eighteen and never looked back.

    Maggie C has a wonderful way of connecting her readers to the community of friends from the previous books. Another aspect I really liked about this book is how multi-generational it is. Maggie truly has a gift of writing love stories for mature adults looking for a second chance at life. She is also open and accepting of the younger generations and blends them perfectly. I'm truly excited there's another book on the horizon!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Second Chance at Life and Love
    Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2020
    This book is fourth in a series. The different episodes focus on different people that are in all or most of the books. In this episode, a sixty-something couple gets a second chance at the relationship they didn't have as 18 year-olds. In the 45 ensuing years, each had led full lives with careers, spouses, and children. It is a very good series. It is nice to have the more familiar characters coming in and out of the lives of the new characters. The author writes very well; the reader experiences everything along with the characters. The author gave me an ARC copy of this book and this is my honest review.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely series
    Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2020
    This is book four in a series about small town lives and it's developing quite nicely. I will have to admit I had a hard time warming up to Lyn which was a first. However that did not stop my reading an otherwise charming series about people from all walks of life. These books focus on the retiring generation finding a life of promise and it does a great job of doing just that. It also includes the surrounding generations and their part in the journey. It was fun to see the continuation of familiar characters along with the new. Cozy reading!

    Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2020
    I have read all of the Granite Springs series. I really like reading about mature characters who find new lives, beginnings, companionship, joy. Stories about ordinary people that have happy endings are really important in this challenging time. I find myself reading more now than ever as concentrating on the political news or the Covid 19 news can cause people, especially older adults to start spiraling into depression. I've seen it in some of my friends. So I'm working on staying positive and reading all of Maggie Christiansen's novels has been a great help.

    It was great to be back in Granite Springs and not only to read about the main characters, Lyn and Ken, but also to catch up with characters from the previous novels in this lovely series. Lyn and Ken's story - as they met again after more than forty years apart - was a poignant one of loss, of difficult family relationships and of missed opportunities. But, ultimately, it was a reassuring, hopeful and heart-warming tale.
