Home (Pinecrest Falls Book 1)

Some people build walls to keep the world out. Brooklyn Watson built hers one brick at a time - after loss, after betrayal, after a world that kept taking things from her without warning. Now she lives four miles outside of Pinecrest Falls, Georgia, population 284, behind a fence line she hasn't crossed in years. Her world is small and controlled and safe.

Then a 1937 red Ford truck pulls down her driveway.

Piers Porter is the last thing Brooklyn planned for - calm where she is anxious, present where she has been hiding, patient in a way that makes her walls feel less necessary than they used to. He communicates through sticky notes on her back door and wildflowers left on her porch step and a quiet steadiness that her nervous system recognizes before her mind catches up.
But Watson Ranch holds secrets older than either of them. And the small town of Pinecrest Falls has been keeping a silence for decades that is about to break wide open.
Home is a story about the distance between surviving and living - and the person who makes you want to close it.
