To make ends meet, the Fitzgerald women must open their home as a boardinghouse, but will the secrets they uncover prove their undoing? The day Cora Fitzgerald turned sixteen, she fled Sugar Hill for the bright lights of New York City, leaving behind her senator father's abuse. But just as her career takes off, she's summoned home. The stock market has crashed. The senator is dead. Her mother is delusional, and her mute Aunt Clara pens novels that expose the town's secrets. Then there's Boone Robertson, who never knew she was alive back in high school but now manages to be around whenever she needs help. And the Fitzgerald women need a lot of help, indeed. They are forced to find a way to make ends meet, whether it's mining for gold or doing what Southern women have done for generations in times of need--turning their home into a boardinghouse. But will the people of Cora's past keep her from returning to a brilliant future?

She's bound by duty. He's tethered to a dream. In the beleaguered mill town of Sweetgum, Georgia, Genessee Taylor dreams of a life beyond running the mill-owned hotel with her family. Though the work is honest, the owner of the mill is not. Genessee and her father long to see stronger labor laws passed to protect the innocent children who are injured and dying in the mill. When the owner learns of their activity, he will stop at nothing to silence them. Tommy Mack works at the mill and dreams of playing professional ball and marrying Genessee. When he's contracted by a big-league team, his dreams are within grasp. Just as Tommy and Genessee's wedding is on the horizon, tragedy strikes Sweetgum. Tommy can't stay and Genessee can't leave. Is there any way for them to battle through loss, deception, and sacrifice to find their way back to each other?
