Her parents moved her away suddenly when she was eleven, but her childhood there was filled with happy memories. Drew seems less sure, but Thea is certain it’s the perfect place to raise their two children. But as the last boxes are unpacked, Thea can’t seem to settle.

But as they all discover, sometimes life simply happens. It doesn’t always happen simply! Originally published in 2014
