Emmaline Bishop swore she'd never come back to Sweetgum Hollow unless somebody died.
Somebody did.
Sixteen years after leaving her grandmother's porch swing - and everything else - behind, Em returns to bury Bea Bishop and sell the aging farmhouse left to her. Three weeks, tops. Fix it up, list it, go home to the life she built in Atlanta.
But Bea Bishop was never one to let go of anything without a fight, not even from the other side.
Hidden in the house is a journal full of strange little porch swing prophecies - scraps of wisdom in violet ink that seem to know exactly what Em needs to hear, exactly when she needs to hear it. The longer she stays, the more she uncovers: a family that's been keeping secrets for decades, a town that never quite let her go, and a man in no hurry at all - which is exactly the problem.
Three weeks turns into a summer. A house turns into a home. And just when Em thinks she's finally found her answer, the porch swing has one more prophecy left to deliver - and it isn't finished with her yet.
A story about grief that transforms instead of passing, love that waits instead of rushing, and the particular magic of a small Southern town that refuses to let go of you once it's decided you belong.
Perfect for readers who love a slow-burn Southern romance, a family mystery worth digging for, and a town they'll wish was real.
