Sloan finally has it all. After winning a music contest in LA, Sloan is on track to become the famous singer that she’s worked to become since high school. And then she gets a letter that changes everything and takes her back to the small town she fought to leave to find a piece of her past she never hoped would exist.

The story of loss and hope that unfolds took me on a rollercoaster of emotions with Sloan, even as her unknown past hung over me as a reader for most of the book. McDaniel has put together a story to remind us that the hurts of our past don’t have to hinder our hopes for moving forward to find happiness in our future.
