Something to Hope For

<p><strong>Some things you can't outrun. You can't deny. You can't avoid. I've spent years trying to escape from something that I can't run from. I'm finally ready to stop. To go back. I've heard you can never go home again. I hope that's not true.</strong></p><p> </p><p>It was a horrific crash. That's what everyone said who remembered what happened. And in a small town like Crossroads everyone remembered. My brother and I lost our parents that day and in an instant our lives changed forever. My name is Tess McCabe and this is my story.</p><p>I fled Crossroads as soon as I was able and didn't look back. I wanted to leave it all behind family friends and most importantly memories. I started a new life somewhere else and did my best to forget. And it worked for many years...until now. Now I'm going back home.</p><p>I had two best friends growing up. One of them I fell in love with and then I destroyed our relationship. And the other just died unexpectedly from an aneurysm. For such a small town Crossroads has a disproportionate share of tragedy. Or maybe tragedy is just felt more deeply in a place where everyone knows everyone else. On top of that my career has gone off the rails which starkly highlights that outside of work I have nothing.</p><p>I'm returning to Crossroads to face the family I pushed away the man I crushed and the friends I left behind. Would it be the hometown I remembered? Would I belong again like I used to? Can I find a piece of my old self? The person I used to be. The person I lost all those years ago.</p><p> </p><p><strong>For fans of small town stories second-chance romance and lost souls finding their way home discover this first story Something to Hope For in the new series The Crossroads.</strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>Meet the people in the small town of Crossroads Virginia.
