Summary

For a woman on the run from scandal, her small Kentucky hometown becomes a refuge for healing, forgiveness, and second chances in a heartwarming novel by USA Today bestselling author Toni Blake.

When scandal derails children’s author Abigail Penny’s career, she flees Chicago for her Kentucky hometown, where she’s helping her difficult father navigate the loss of her mother and, to her surprise, reconnecting with Chase Cordray, the high school quarterback who broke her heart.

Abigail wasn’t meant to be a country girl, but Crossroads is as good a place as any to go off the grid for now. She takes on a therapeutic job writing eulogies for local families, transforms her mother’s old gardening shed into a special place for her father, and realizes that Chase isn’t quite the careless boy she once knew. Older and stable, he’s working on reopening his family’s general store. As they come together to play catch-up, warm feelings reignite.

But learning to trust again isn’t easy. When her career comes calling, Abigail must make a choice: Where does she move forward? Back in Chicago, with the only life she’s known for twenty years? Or in Crossroads, which is starting to feel more and more like home?
