A Long Way Back to Troy

In 1973, Jeannie Travis's world was turned upside down by her high school classmate "Truck" Hardy. Jeannie was from the posh side of town; Truck was not. Jeannie had dreams of graduating, attending Mount Holyoke College, and one day teaching children. Truck wasn't sure he would even make it another week of school without flunking out. Jeannie was into school; Truck was into cars and racing.

Now, forty-five years later, Jeannie is a divorced grandmother who has finally accepted her best friend's invitation to return to their hometown for a high school reunion. With that acceptance, memories of senior year and the way Truck had changed the trajectory--the way he had changed her--come flooding back. But chances that she will ever see Truck again are slim and none. No one seems to know what happened to him after senior year, least of all Jeannie.

But when she returns, she learns that someone has heard from Truck. Will a chance meeting at a high school reunion change Jeannie's life once again? If so, can her heart stand to be broken one more time in her life?
