Thomas Wolfe told us in his 1940 novel that we can’t go home again.
In this beautiful, yet poignant love story, Bobby Underwood reminds us that sometimes we can.

Billy Ballard returns to his hometown of Shafter, California after many years away. He’s not looking to turn back time, and certainly not expecting to find the girl he once loved from afar, but once he does, his life is changed forever. Darcy Kendrick was the beautiful and popular cheerleader who was always so nice to him and his friends, even though she was at the top of the highschool’s social hierarchy, and they were near the bottom. Now, all these years later, Billy has become a success in business, while Darcy is struggling with a serious problem that has made her the shame of their small town.
This is no ordinary love story. To some, the circumstance would seem a tragedy, but in the hands of a master story-teller, as Underwood is, it becomes a special tale that transcends heartbreak, and leaves the reader with the good feeling that you witnessed such love. ( )
