Sometimes what haunts you most is wondering what could have been.
Avalee Elvis prides herself with being able to fix just about anything. . . except her past. Unable to put the puzzle of her life together, she pours heart and soul into making neglected places whole again. As the owner of Lowcountry Lost, Avalee spends her days in hot-pink Carhartt overalls and a tool belt reclaiming Lowcountry properties. Making them beautiful again releases the deep sigh that soothes the hurt she holds.
Avalee’s latest project takes her to tiny Somewhere, South Carolina, a long-abandoned town. She ignores its ghostly folklore but can’t miss the shock of hearing the familiar Irish brogue that materializes on the job site—the voice of the man she never wanted to see again.
Rowan Murray is a structural engineer hired by investors to oversee the redevelopment of the quaint downtown Avalee is bringing back to life. Once upon a time, he was also the man who knew Avalee better than anyone else—or so he thought. Six years ago, neither of them was prepared for the tragedy they would face together or what would happen in its wake. But as they work together to complete the rehabbing of Somewhere, their broken pieces and the pain that nearly consumed them begin to lose its grip, and both begin to wonder if it’s not too late for a restoration of their own.
From the author of the breakout Southern fiction bestseller Under the Magnolias comes a story of loss and abandonment, forgiveness, and the beauty of undying love.

This is my kind of story! Yes, the DIY girl in me was hooked by the makeover of the town . . . but oh, there’s so much more. Second chances, secrets, healing (and a hot Irishman on a motorcycle). Most of all, an ending I didn’t see coming. This compelling tale of restoration on every level will stay with me a very long time. Highly, highly recommended!
I loved Avalee from the start. Maybe it was her voice or the broken heart she is trying to mend. I could feel the humidity of the Lowcountry and see her tuck that pencil behind her ear. I felt the ache inside for her hidden losses. A good story will take you deep into these places of the heart. This story does that and more.
