When Nina returns to the country she was born in, she expects to finally feel at home. Instead, she finds herself in a quiet coastal village that feels as strange as every place she's ever tried to belong. Then she meets August Harries-a young chef who walked away from fame to start over where no one knew his name. Between recipes that taste like goodbyes and mornings that feel like hope, they discover that sometimes starting over isn't about leaving-it's about daring to stay. Almost Home is a story about belonging, second chances, and the fragile courage it takes to love again.
