Dru Mills Returns Home with New Dreams for a New LifeOne early morning in 1985, Dru drives off to leave everything behind in Michigan—her parents, her younger siblings and her cheating boyfriend, with all his empty promises. She’s convinced returning to Kentucky and taking the computer job at the local hospital will provide everything she needs for a fresh start.Within five minutes of crossing the Kentucky Eden County line, she’s welcomed—with a speeding ticket! This is not how she imagined her homecoming.After the annoying but admittedly handsome police officer hands over the ticket, Dru grumpily pulls back onto the asphalt. Chastised, she drives slower, remembering long-ago childhood scenes. Those memories are interrupted by the sight of an Amish buggy carrying a stoic bearded man.Soon after settling in, Dru’s life collides with both the policeman’s and the Amish farmer’s when a murderer invades Dru’s community. The three unlikely companions become intertwined in ways none of them wants, catapulting their inner guilt and disappointments to the surface and exposing emotional ghosts they’d all prefer to keep hidden. All three must find the strength to navigate their emotional hurdles. And with that strength, the hope to carry on.
