Homecoming

After hitting the big time with her most recent novel, Lucy Anderson's ready for her next challenge. On the heels of her successful book tour, Lucy's old high school friend Chelle Morrison calls her with a proposal: Lucy should buy the beautiful historic Crafton House and turn it into a writer's retreat. Little River, Arkansas is on the cusp of revitalization, and they hope the retreat will bring new life to the struggling town. Lucy sees herself as a savior to the town she fled from after graduation. In the nearly twenty years she's been gone, she's come out, become a successful author, and now she's ready to rescue the women who never got out. What she finds once she arrives, though, is that while women like Chelle might have married their high school sweethearts, they haven't been standing still waiting for an opportunity to thrive. Instead, the women of Little River are the driving force of the revitalization. Even more surprising to Lucy is finding love in Little River with Emily Neville, the kid sister of the football player who escorted Lucy the night she was crowned homecoming queen. But, first, Lucy must convince Emily she isn't just out to exploit the town before taking off again.
