How long does it take to change a life? Sometimes… only two minutes. JD Carlisle is a semi-retired photographer who has spent years carrying grief, loneliness, and the quiet ache of a life he never meant to build. His mornings are predictable, his routines familiar—until a young woman with a gentle smile begins stepping into his coffee shop each day. Their conversations last no more than two minutes. But something in those moments awakens him—softly, unexpectedly, profoundly. Set in a small Kansas town, Two Minutes Each Morning is a tender, soul-deep story about connection, timing, faith, and the quiet ways people heal one another without ever intending to. As JD’s life begins to open again, he finds himself drawn into a world of wildflowers, morning rituals, shared struggles, and unexpected grace. This is not a story about possession. It’s a story about presence. About the kind of love that reshapes us, even if it never becomes a romance. A gentle, heart-centered novel for readers who believe the smallest moments can leave the biggest marks.
