Beyond Ashes

<p>One year ago I watched my world burn to the ground. Now back in Willow Creek I'm piecing together a life from the remnants unsure if I'll ever feel whole again. I'm more comfortable with a good book than a crowded festival but when a quirky fortune teller hints that my future isn't as bleak as I thought I can't help but be intrigued. Enter Jake-a charming stranger with a knack for making me laugh and a tendency to stumble into adventure. He's spontaneous fearless and somehow sees through the armor I've carefully constructed. Against my better judgment I find myself drawn into his world of impromptu outings and heartfelt moments. As we navigate corn mazes and the chaos of small-town life I'm faced with a choice: cling to the safety of my solitude or risk opening myself to the possibility of something more. Can I release my hold on yesterday and embrace the unknown? Or will fear keep me from the happiness that's been waiting all along?</p>
