In a small town\, every road leads bac k to the one person you can never forget.
\nDial Birch has neve r needed saving. She&rsquo\;s built her life with her own two hands. In Hu me\, Tennessee everyone knows Dial: the woman who can propagate a dying or chid back to life\, who&rsquo\;ll throw a right hook as quick as a sharp w ord\, and who has spent the past few years perfecting the art of living in the same small town as Ozzie Palmer\, her ex and the father of her child\ , without feeling a thing. She&rsquo\;s made peace with the hard parts. It &rsquo\;s just that Hume isn&rsquo\;t big enough to keep her heart from re membering what it felt like before it was broken.
\nOzzie Palmer has never needed much\, just the familiar streets of Hume\, his daughter Mapl e\, and Dial\, the woman who has always held his heart. Their relationship may be in an &ldquo\;off&rdquo\; season\, but Ozzie isn&rsquo\;t worried. He&rsquo\;s a patient man\, and some loves are worth waiting for. But whe n his father\, and boss\, starts pulling strings that could uproot everyth ing Ozzie holds dear\, he&rsquo\;s forced to fight for the only life he&rs quo\;s ever wanted. Because walking away from Hume means walking away from Dial\, and that&rsquo\;s something Ozzie Palmer will never be ready to do .
\nDial and Ozzie have been a part of each other&rsquo\;s story for so long that neither one knows how to write a version of themselves witho ut the other in it. But wanting someone back and being ready for them are two different things. The lives they envisioned have fallen apart\, but it &rsquo\;s getting harder to ignore what&rsquo\;s always been there\, the h eat\, the history\, the pull that never really went away. Second chances d on&rsquo\;t come with guarantees. And this one is running out of time.
