Book excerpt: You can't outrun a memory, but Elliott Norton is going to try. The longer she prolongs her road trip, the longer she can avoid her grief. It's been three years since her husband and son died, but everywhere she looks, she sees them. Finally, she packs up and embarks on a summer-long trip to find a place to grow new roots. In every town she visits, Elliott finds a reason to keep moving. Distracted by her nine-year-old daughter, she careens off the road and into a tree. Thankfully, they are unharmed but now they're stranded in the small coastal town of Darien, Georgia. They explore the town while waiting for repairs and even make friends with some locals. After finding a house that needs major repairs, she decides renovating the old Plantation home is the perfect distraction from her pain. With the help of new friends--especially the hunky neighbor, Nick--Elliott dives into the remodeling. Nick is a single parent and understands Elliott's struggles. Their bond grows with every room they remodel. She slowly finds herself open to the idea of love after loss, but it all comes to a screeching halt when she learns Nick is keeping a major secret. If Elliott can't stop running from the hurting in her heart, she may never again experience real love.
