Georgie Lamar has a plan: graduate college, move to Nashville with her best friend Britt, and finally escape Mayland, Mississippi. But life, and a certain small-town charm, has a way of derailing even the best-laid plans.
When an unexpected (and temporary) teaching opportunity arises at the prestigious Mayland Middle School-thanks to Britt's influential family-Georgie finds herself drawn into a world she never thought she'd belong to. It's a world of high expectations, quirky colleagues, and students with unique challenges who need her more than she realizes.
As Georgie navigates her new role, the ghosts of past heartbreaks and the allure of a future in Nashville pull at her. Can she truly leave behind the place that has shaped her, or will Mayland, with its complicated history and unexpected connections, finally claim her heart?
