After the death of her stepfather, Michaela Reilly's family picks up and moves from the bustling city of Miami to a tiny speck of a town in the middle of nowhere Georgia. Starting over is always hard, but when you're stuck with an emotionally wrecked mother who won't even look at you and the responsibility of practically raising your younger brother and sister, it's even more difficult. Life in a small, rural town is a lot different from what she's used to. Beaches are replaced with lazy, shaded rivers. Six lane highways with dirt roads. And Levi, the cute preacher's son, with intentions as pure as his smile, takes the place of a string of shallow, meaningless hookups back home.

A troubled past will come back to haunt you. Michaela has both.… (more)

I really enjoyed the way that Lindsey Ouimet drew us into the feeling of small town life in rural Georgia. I could smell the grease in the air at Carmen's as Michaela worked there, feel the oppressive Georgia heat, and picture the crowd at the football games. I really felt Michaela's struggles and was torn right along side her over what to do.

I really enjoyed the talks with Michaela and Levi. Michaela and her siblings. I liked how Michaela and her mother were able to resolve things at the end.
