Going home was never an option, until it became the only one.
Her dream job, a big city loft apartment and a relationship with Davis Renford, one of Chicago’s favorite sons is all Tessa Wallace thinks she needs to be happy. When a phone call comes with news of her estranged grandmother’s death, Tessa is presented with a decision she never thought she’d have to make.
Without telling a soul Tessa leaves Davis, her job and her best friend Adrianna behind to travel back to Chapel Corners, the small town on the coast of Lake Michigan where she grew up—and ran away from nearly a decade earlier. Determined to quickly finalize her grandmother’s small estate and return back to her carefully crafted life in Chicago, Tessa is flooded with memories of her childhood and long-standing questions about her past.
Will revelations about the mother Tessa never knew show her what it really means to be comfortable in her own skin? Or will discoveries about her past cause Tessa to run away yet again, giving up her chance to make peace with her past and find her true path to happiness?
