The Road Leads Back — Marci Boudreaux

Kara Martinson and Harry Canton weren't exactly high school sweethearts, but they did share one night neither will ever forget. Twenty-seven years later, Harry surprises Kara at an art gallery opening and discovers he left her with more than just memories when he went away to college. Desperate to connect with the family he never knew existed, Harry convinces his son to move to Stonehill -- and pleads with Kara to come, too. Kara hasn't stepped foot in their hometown since the day she was sent away to a home for unwed mothers. Now Harry's back in her life and as they put together the pieces of his parents' betrayal, old heartaches start to feel anew. She wants to be near her family, but returning to Iowa means facing some things…and some people…she isn't quite ready to. Can Harry convince her to forgive those who betrayed her so they can embrace the future they were robbed of so long ago? Or will the pain of the past be too much for Kara to overcome?
