Welcome Home
Emily Lang has spent her adulthood waiting for the other shoe to drop. After a childhood in foster care with no place to truly call home, she’s found a place to belong in the stories she writes. But despite her bestselling debut novel putting her career on the map, Emily’s doubts and fears of rejection have resurfaced, making days spent hiding under the covers far more attractive than meeting her next book deadline. When her best friend drags her out of the house and on an “inspiration” road trip, Emily hopes she will find her footing and prove to herself that her career and the careful life she’s built aren’t fiction like the books she writes.
When they stumble upon a gorgeous small mountain town called Spring Valley, Emily finally finds inspiration in the small, close-knit community, and especially the sweet and supportive presence of Karen, the B&B’s owner, and her nephew, Porter, who is dealing with life-altering surprises of his own.
When a storm ravages Spring Valley, Emily can’t help but get involved in the cleanup, and a terrible accident forces her to accept help and find a family in a place she fully intends to leave—as soon as her leg heals and she can walk away. But growing close to Porter, and the people who rally for Emily the way she has rallied for them, makes saying goodbye more painful than she imagined. Through their support and wisdom from the unlikeliest of places, Emily learns that sometimes following inspiration leads you exactly where you meant to be all along—home.
