Home to Her

“Maybe my expectations for love were completely off?”
At 30, Rachel Winterfield could never have anticipated moving back in with her parents again, but after being left by her fiancée and losing her job, options were limited. Her heart and her trust wounded, Rachel struggles to redefine her views on life and love, believing she’ll never love again. Everything changes when, at a local farmer’s market, a vendor selling fresh vegetables turns out to be someone from a chapter in Rachel’s life that she’d long put behind her—the only girl she’d ever loved.
“It was like every plant that grew was healing me, giving me life again.”
Dixie Waters has dealt with hardship her entire life. She lost her mother as a child, and after her father passed away, she decided to put all of her energy into one project: The Waters Lifespring Gardens, a permaculture food forest spanning the entire half-acre of her suburban backyard. She always viewed the gardens as her source of healing and love, but she never thought that her fruits and vegetables would bring her back face to face with her high school sweetheart—the one who got away.
“This whole thing has just gotten me all turned around.”
The two former lovers find passions quickly rekindling, but Rachel needs healing, and Dixie doesn’t know if she can let herself fall in love with her again. It may be up to Rosie, Dixie’s clever border collie and sole emotional companion, to quietly keep the two women together. But can one dog, the healing power of nature, and the warm memories of a past love keep fragile hearts from pulling apart?
