AT TWENTY, CASSIE MADISON LEFT HER HOMETOWN OF WALTON, GEORGIA, WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A BACKWARD GLANCÉ, BUT WHEN A FAMILY CRISIS CALLS HER HOME, SHE MUST PART WITH THE SATISFACTION OF HER UPPER EAST SIDE LIFE-AND RETURN TO THE TUMULT OF THE ONE SHE LEFT After arriving in New York, Cassie did everything she could to reinvent herself, from losing herself in a career to squashing her accent. But a single late-night phone call brings back everything she has tried to forget. She hasn't spoken to her sister Harriet since Cassie wiped the Georgia clay from her high-heeled pumps-not since Harriet stole Cassie's fiancé and married him. Now Harriet's on the line with the news that their father is dying. Cassie makes the trip back, and the only thing that frightens her more than losing her father is seeing Harriet and the family who should have been hers. But she can't help loving her nephews and nieces any more than she can help feeling at home in a place where people ask how you are and actually expect to hear the truth. As she fights a surprising reaction to a forgottén friend and faces an unexpected threat to the family she left behind, Cassie comes to realize that moving on doesn't always mean moving away from who you are-and that home is a place that lives in a person's heart, waiting with open arms to be rediscovered.
