They say you can't go home anymore... Returning to Sweetwater, South Carolina, after thirty years of absence, Tucker Pettigrew knows for sure that his appearance will cause a stir. The only grandson of the most powerful man in the area, he wants to understand why his recently deceased mother ran away from here with almost nothing. And what Tucker discovers will shock not only himself, but the entire city. Sarah Barnwell is fighting her own ghosts, and on the very first night of her return to Sweetwater, they are right there. The bully, who turned her already difficult childhood into a living hell, is also here and still does not give her a pass. Enemies, Sarah and Tucker eventually realize that they are connected by more than just a common fence. And the roots - no matter whether the plant is beautiful or poisonous - have sprouted much deeper than it seems.
