Running was right beneath cooking and baking on Liberty Johnson's resumé. After running from Clementine 9 years ago, Liberty returns to flee from her cheating bastard ex fiancé. Now back home, she wonders if 9 years was enough to exorcise the demons she'd run away from. Clementine is just as she'd left it and as she busies herself with her new project, Orchid, and deflecting questions about why she left, Liberty finds herself being distracted in ways she'd never predicted.
Jinx, the author and finisher of the misery of her teenage years, is probably the only element that has changed. While Liberty busies herself trying to refamiliarize herself with her old shoes, and hangs up her celebrity chef hat to run her own bed and breakfast, she trades in her running shoes to anchor herself to the man she'd never seen herself leaning on.
