Synopsis

"Equally heartwarming and heartbreaking."

Scout Montgomery has made a career out of searching for her missing brother. Helping runaways gives meaning to her otherwise meaningless life. She hasn't spoken to her father in nearly two decades, and her crush on her sexy coworker is going nowhere. She's stuck in a time warp. In order to move on, she must find closure. An unexpected trip home to Alabama provides an opportunity to conduct a fresh search with mature eyes. Will she discover the missing link to her brother's disappearance? Or will she uncover a secret that places them all in danger?

June Montgomery is married to a prominent politician, owns a magazine-worthy home, and leads an active social life. But she lives in constant fear the past will come back to haunt her. She has mixed emotions about her daughter's sudden reappearance in their lives. Scout has the power to heal their family . . . and unravel the seams of June's intricately crafted lies.

I was sucked in by the beautiful cover. Unfortunately, I didn't care for the writing style or any of the characters, all rather bland. I'm giving it a 2 instead of a 1 as the last 4th of the book picked up somewhat in momentum. I doubt I'll read this author again.......more
