Mike was supposed to be passing through Alabama.
He had a destination, an old war buddy waiting for him, and no intention of stopping any longer than necessary. Then a roadside store, a burger stand, and a young woman with fire-colored hair changed the itinerary.
Her name is Sam.
Mike came home from war years ago, but part of him never really made it back. PTSD has turned ordinary sounds, unexpected blood, and even old friends into reminders of things he'd rather forget. He's learned to keep moving, keep people at a distance, and never stay anywhere long enough to become part of it.
Sam has other ideas.
She steals his fries, takes him fishing, introduces him to small-town drag racing, and quietly shows him a place where neighbors still look after one another and nobody thinks twice about helping a stranger. Mike expects to stay a day or two.
Then he turns around.
What begins as an unexpected stop becomes something Mike hasn't allowed himself to imagine in years: a place where he might belong, people worth caring about, and perhaps even a woman worth risking his heart for.
But finding peace means confronting the one thing Mike has spent years trying to outrun.
Himself.
Southern Comfort is a warm, funny, character-driven story about friendship, PTSD, second chances, and discovering that sometimes the place you never intended to stop is exactly where you needed to land.
