About this ebook
By leaving South Carolina, Rose Fletcher thought she had shaken the dust off her feet for good, but now she's headed south again, racing for the past and hoping to leave her present troubles behind.
When Rose Fletcher embarks on her car trip to Mullins, South Carolina, she has little idea what awaits her. A powerful DC lobbyist, Rose remains powerless over the demons of her past. With her marriage on the brink of disaster, her mind races with the chaos her life has become as her journey begins to dredge up memories of the mistakes she’s made and the desperate ache of the life she once knew.
As Rose makes her long drive back to Mullins to attend her grandmother's funeral after 10 years away, it'll take the intervention of strangers and a painful miracle of grace to help her find that place called "home" once again.
This is a story of how deep roots and southern memories—like chess pie, boiled peanuts, and crazy waitresses in small town diners—can remind you of why sometimes life has to come to a screeching halt before we can learn how to live.
- A poignant southern tale of how the lost can find their way back home
- Includes discussion questions for book clubs
- Also by Denise Jones: Savannah from Savannah

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5- The exposition / beginning of the story was too long,the ending too abrupt & dramatic : (The use of flashbacks was a bit too much also,in my opinion '_' besides, the timeline is notas clear as it could be, so sometimes it takes mea few pages to realize which phase of Rose's lifeit's describing 0_o"- The portrait of how Southerners differfrom the Washington city people is quitesuccessful : ) Besides, it educated meabout what Southerners like:Boiled Peanuts & Frozen Coke ; )hehe... i find that pretty amusing.- It's nice to know that someone out thereis attempting to incorporate Christianity/the idea of God into their stories,but i wish i could see more of that come outfrom the story, as opposed to learning aboutthat from the label on the back of the novel.
