Publisher Description
Sometimes the only place left to go is home.
Kara Martinson always thought her high school crush was out of her league, but they did share one night she’s never been able to forget. Nearly three decades after being disowned by her parents and forced to raise her son on her own, Kara’s made it—her art is being toasted at a gallery opening. Even better, she and her son are finally on stable ground. Until Mr. One-Night Stand himself crashes her party.
Harry Canton always knew Kara would make it as an artist. Almost thirty years after high school, he still considers her the one that got away. But the surprise reunion doesn’t quite go to plan when Harry discovers he left her with more than just memories when he went away to college. Desperate to connect with the family he never knew existed, Harry convinces his son to move cross country for a fresh start with his father—and pleads with Kara to come home, too.
Kara hasn’t stepped foot in their hometown since the day she was sent away. But her son desperately wants the father he never had and denying him that may cost her everything. Can love heal old heartaches so Harry and Kara can have a second chance at the future they were robbed of so long ago? Or will the pain of the past be too much to face?

It insightfully covers a whole gamut of family and relationship issues, providing sound advice for resolving problems. I bookmarked many sentences that spoke deeply to me. Thank you for such a treasure
“The road leads back” by Marci Bolden
I almost stopped reading this book when I realized it wasn’t the usual kind of romance I was expecting. I’m so glad I continued reading.
I can’t imagine the resentment, guilt and hate Kara, Harry and Phil feel at having 26 years taken away from them. How can they forge ahead? What they each have to go through seems insurmountable. EVERYONE has to find a new normal. I liked that a heartfelt apology didn’t just fix everything and make it better. It’s realistic that their hurt would flair up every so often and they’d lash out. No one is perfect. We all make mistakes.
Kara trying to figure out WHO she is and what SHE wants as opposed to being JUST a mother is a journey most women have to face.
Given the length of the book, the author did an AMAZING job of handling such a tough issue. Happily ever after are given to us, they have to be worked at. Life is a work in progress.
