Now this immensely gifted author returns with a novel that asks the question: Can you ever go home again? Erin and Jessica were best friends growing up in small-town Arizona. Both were smart, ambitious, and seduced by the siren call of the big city. Now Erin is back in her hometown running an inn, while secretly envying Jessica's exciting life as a magazine journalist in New York City. But fate is about to intervene again, sending Jessica back to Arizona, where she must convince Erin to trade places with her for six months. It's an opportunity for Jessica to reconcile with her estranged family.
