By leaving South Carolina, Rose Fletcher thought she had shaken the dust off her feet for good, but now she's headed south again, racing for the past and hoping to leave her present troubles behind. When Rose Fletcher embarks on her car trip to Mullins, South Carolina, she has little idea what awaits her. A powerful DC lobbyist, Rose remains powerless over the demons of her past. With her marriage on the brink of disaster, her mind races with the chaos her life has become as her journey begins to dredge up memories of the mistakes she's made and the desperate ache of the life she once knew. As Rose makes her long drive back to Mullins to attend her grandmother's funeral after 10 years away, it'll take the intervention of strangers and a painful miracle of grace to help her find that place called "home" once again. This is a story of how deep roots and southern memories-like chess pie, boiled peanuts, and crazy waitresses in small town diners-can remind you of why sometimes life has to come to a screeching halt before we can learn how to live.

The only constants in reporter Savannah Phillips's life are her best friend Paige, her workplace tormenter Joshua, her steady father-and her crazed mother. In spite of that, she agrees to take a Florida vacation with her parents and enjoy some seaside "rest and relaxation" for a week. What could possibly go wrong? First, Savannah had to lie to her boss. (Sort of.) Then her parents had a fight. (They never fight.) The pint-sized lapdog that is treated better than she is has thrown up. (Twice.) Their family vacation hasn't even started...and she's ready to go home. No one in her right mind would actually choose to spend a week at the beach with a steel-Magnolia drama queen, a tragically disappointed diva-in-training, and a yapping, hurling, supremely annoying little canine princess. But Savannah loves the beach, so she came. Then she runs into the gorgeous, exasperating Joshua North. . .and watches her good sense slide rapidly south. Which goes to show that even with a tan and (maybe) a new man in her life-she's still the same old Savannah from Savannah. Told in the wry voice of an adult child of a drama queen, Denise Hildreth's Savannah series is packed with humor, love, and wisdom-with a southern accent.
