A Long Way Back to Troy

In 1971, 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 learning; Truck was into hot cars and racing.

Now, forty-eight years later, Jeannie Landon 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 changed everything about the way she saw life come flooding back. Now, she half worries she will run into him, and half fears she won't. 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? Or will returning home be what heals her shattered life?
