The Journey Home

Where do you go to heal a broken heart? Sometimes, you make the journey home…

Abby Stevens never imagined becoming a mother overnight. After her sister and brother-in-law are killed in a tragic car crash, Abby is left to care for her toddler nephew, Devin—the one bright light in her shattered world. Overwhelmed and grieving, she returns to her childhood home, hoping the quiet comfort of small-town life will help them both heal.

What Abby doesn’t expect is the warm embrace of old friends—or the steady presence of Shane McKenna.
Since losing his father, Shane has locked his heart behind careful distance. Watching his mother’s grief taught him one painful lesson: loving deeply means risking everything. Casual relationships are safe. Falling in love is not.

But when Abby and little Devin reenter his life, Shane finds himself drawn to them in ways he can’t ignore. The more time he spends with them, the more he begins to wonder if love might be worth the risk after all.

Can Abby rebuild her life and trust her heart again—and can Shane find the courage to embrace the family he never knew he needed?
