Five years ago, Ivy Brooks left Alder's Edge with a one-way ticket and a heart full of unfinished stories. She swore she'd never come back - not after Cal didn't show up at the station, not after the dreams they built together dissolved into silence. The city was supposed to fix her, to make her someone new. But when Sadie - her childhood friend, the light of the town - dies unexpectedly, Ivy is pulled back to the place she's spent years trying to forget. Now Alder's Edge feels both familiar and foreign: the rain-slicked streets, the café her mother still runs, her younger brother suddenly grown, and Cal - still behind the counter at Brennan's Records, still carrying the quiet weight of everything left unsaid. As Ivy navigates grief, guilt, and the ghosts of who she used to be, she's forced to confront what really drove her away - and what might still be waiting for her if she dares to stay. Because sometimes, the hardest person to forgive is yourself. And sometimes, love never really leaves - it just waits for you to come home.
