Overview

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.

Review

This story is full of great characters and gives you all kinds of emotions.

Avalee’s latest project takes her to tiny Somewhere, South Carolina, a long-abandoned town. This is where she runs into her ex husband, Rowan. He is a structural engineer hired by the investors. This throws a kink into Avalee’s life and brings back all of her bad memories of the lost.

Avalee has struggled in her life with her many miscarriages. So to see her ex husband has brought back all that they went through. But, this may just be what she needs to finally heal.

I found this tale sweet and delightful. There were places that I felt were a bit monotonous but this is minor.

The narrator, Zura Johnson, is new to me. I will be on the look out for more!
