Leah Wilkes thought she had her world all figured out. At ten years old, she adored her Southern roots: the weekend family cookouts, Mama's comforting routines, and the constant chatter of her twin sisters filling their Carolina home. She'd never traveled beyond her small town, but she dreamed big, watching the world through the flicker of her TV screen and wondering what might lie beyond the horizon.

But everything changed the day a well-known family secret came to light. The man Leah affectionately called Pop-Pop wasn't her only father. Suddenly, her safe, familiar world tilted on its axis, and a new chapter began-one filled with questions, fears, and possibilities she'd never imagined.

As Leah's summer unfolds, she's thrust into a journey that challenges everything she thought she knew about family, love, identity, and belonging. What starts as confusion soon becomes the summer of a lifetime, a season of courage, discovery, and the sweet ache of growing up. Through heartbreak and hope, Leah learns that family is defined not just by blood, but by the people who support you during life's greatest challenges.

A heartwarming coming-of-age story set under the Carolina sun, Leah's journey will stay with you long after the final page.
