To live for the hope of it all...

A decade after leaving without a word, Autumn Harper is returning home. She's looking

forward to seeing her family and reconnecting with her best friend-but beneath the

surface, the real reason she left still haunts her.

Becca and Jimmy Taylor have it all: a beautiful home, successful careers, and a

marriage that looks perfect. With their high school reunion approaching, life is exactly

where Becca always hoped it would be.

As the three are drawn into a tangle of old memories, unresolved feelings, and hidden

regrets, their carefully constructed lives begin to crack. Over one summer,

friendship will be tested, love will be questioned, and choices will come back to haunt

them.

In a story about the lies we tell-to each other and ourselves-scars resurface. Some

will heal. Others will leave a mark forever.
