Publisher's summary

Twenty-four-year-old Hope DeSilva has been released from a three-year stint in a Georgia prison. After returning to her family property in a tiny Georgia town, she decides she's had enough of the poverty, violence, and profound family dysfunction. It's time to get out on her own. She buys a $400 car and heads to find work out west.

After the car breaks down in Colorado, she's given a ride into a mountain town called Wynter where she runs into brash, aggressive police officer Samantha Gains, who has not one ounce of patience or sympathy for a felon in her black-and-white world of right or wrong, good or bad.

But, running from her own family trauma and inexplicably bewitched by the young newcomer Hope, Samantha begins to realize that maybe her strict worldview isn’t as simple as it seems. When a freak accident brings the two women together, it will take both of them letting go of their pasts to truly move on.

Take another trip to Wynter and revisit old friends as they work their magic to help Hope and Samantha find their footing—and ultimately bring them home.

Loved it but the use of “y’all…

I LOVED this book and the whole series! The narrator was great and easy to listen to as well. The ONLY thing that got me is the use of “y’all” as a singular pronoun. (Please don’t pick on me before you read on and maybe understand). I grew up in North Georgia in a town right next to Dawsonville. We even had a major road in our town called Dawsonville Hwy. I had friends from there and I also had other friends who had family from there that I was around frequently. The use of “y’all” as a singular pronoun left with the 70’s unless you were 30 or older. The only time it’s used as a singular pronoun is if someone is referring to someone not knowing if it’s more than one person. Or you go to a friend’s house where multiple people live but your friend is the only person home. You will likely greet your friend “How y’all doin’?” Referring mostly to that person but opening the conversation to talk about the others that aren’t present.
I know it’s a bit nit-picky, but it’s a misnomer that won’t seem to go away, like I said, unless you were 30 or older in the 70’s.
