Annajane has convinced herself that four years of divorce have cured her feelings for Mason. She's engaged to someone new and planning to leave their small North Carolina town behind. She feels so confident about moving on that she agrees to attend Mason's wedding ceremony. But when the wedding stops abruptly as the bride walks down the aisle, Annajane starts wondering if fate stepped in deliberately. Maybe she still wants Mason back after all. The halted ceremony sets off a chain of revelations in their tight-knit Southern community. Annajane uncovers hidden scandals involving her own family and discovers that even longtime friends and neighbors harbor dark secrets. As the truth emerges, she realizes that major changes can expose people's worst impulses. Now Annajane faces a choice between the safe future she planned and the possibility of reclaiming her old life with Mason. But first she must figure out who she really is and what truly matters to her heart.
