Coming home to small-town Texas means facing the past and embracing the future in this touching novel about the family we choose by New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown.
After thirteen years away, Tina O'Grady returns to her hometown of Benson, Texas, drawn to the old oak tree in the park. She and her childhood friends, Walker and Gracie, called it the Tomorrow Tree and shared their dreams beneath its branches. But Tina, still reeling from past betrayals, has no plans to stay.
Mae and Cleo aren't about to let her leave. The elderly ladies who practically raised Tina offer her a room in their boardinghouse--where she discovers Walker and Gracie are also staying. Suddenly, this small town feels more like home than ever. Especially when Tina takes a job at Walker's feedstore, and their friendship rekindles into something deeper than either dared to hope.
Through Mae and Cleo's fierce maternal love and a second chance with Walker, Tina must confront the wounds that drove her away. Can she finally trust in the family she's always had--and the love that's been waiting beneath the Tomorrow Tree?
