Sandra Hurst did all the right things growing up, but after she left home, no matter how hard she tried, stuff always went wrong, and now she has nowhere to go except to the old family homeplace in rural Cub Creek, Virginia to house sit and dog sit while her aunt goes on a trip.
When her aunt returns...then what? For now, at least, it's a good place to hide from her almost ex-husband, Trent, for a few weeks. She has left him again for the second and final time, and needs some time to earn money for her support and for the divorce.
And knowing Trent, it won't be that easy. He'll be looking for her.
When Sandra finally arrives in Cub Creek, she discovers the old house is shabby, the garden is woefully overgrown, and her aunt's beloved dog, Honey, is missing.
As Sandra settles into the old house that she hasn't visited since she was a child-and never planned to return to-powerful secrets and hurtful memories are unearthed. But this may be her final chance to regain her self-respect, make peace with her family, and discover what she's truly made of-if she will stand and fight for what she wants this time...instead of running again.
