The past brought her home. The future might just keep her there.
After eight years away, Sarah Beth McAllister returns to Rossville, Georgia with nothing but a suitcase full of regret, a four-year-old daughter, and a prayer that her mama will take her back in. Estranged and pride-worn, Sarah Beth knows coming home means facing the mess she made. And the mother who warned her about men like the one who left her in ruins.
But Rossville isn’t the town she left behind. Mama’s taken to bed, the family-run motel is hanging on by a thread, and some smooth-talking stranger has wedged himself smack dab in the middle of the mess.
Aaron Cooper rides the rails, just like his daddy and granddaddy before him. But with the railroad fading and a new dream rising, he's set his sights on the rundown motel next door. The land it sits on? Prime real estate—if he can just outlast the sharp-tongued matriarch who refuses to sell. But when her equally headstrong daughter returns home with a wide-eyed little girl, a needy puppy, and secrets of her own, Aaron’s smooth plan goes off track. And so does his heart.
As past mistakes bubble to the surface and a long-buried mystery starts to unravel, Sarah Beth and Aaron will have to decide if the wreckage between them can be cleared—or if some hearts are better left on the tracks.
Warm, witty, and rich with Southern soul, Train Wrecked Hearts is a story of forgiveness, second chances, and the beauty of building something new from the pieces of the past.
Crack open this Southern tale of grit, grace, and unexpected love today.
