Picture This

Sometimes the real story begins in life’s second half.
Ani Stevenson has spent her life lifting others—always steady, always kind—but quietly wondering if she also deserves a hand to hold.
Jesse Peterson has known loss and struggle too. Years of addiction and a broken engagement left him wary of life and love, but now, clean and determined, he’s ready to discover what the world might have to offer.
A decades-old photograph, captured in a fleeting moment neither remembers, suggests a connection they can't explain. One that refuses to fade.
When their paths cross again, past meets present, and old questions rise alongside new possibilities. Ani and Jesse are about to discover love can arrive later than expected but is more than worth the wait.
From critically-acclaimed author Lee Barber, Picture This is a tender, uplifting story about love that waits, second chances, and the quiet courage it takes to let someone truly see you.
