Come Home to Me

After a horrific accident, late-night star Rhett Bryan makes his way back to Moonlight, SC. Summer Valentine is also there following a struggling music career, reluctantly allowing her son to get to know his father, Hunt McCroy. Summer has had a crush on her friend Rhett since they were kids, and now they begin to get to know each other again. With story shifts between present-day and the past, with each character replaying an event or chain of events that lead them back to their hometown in hopes of healing. But as the stories unfold, it seems that one fateful prom night changed everyone's path irrevocably. Told in three solidly different points of view, Talley's novel takes great care to examine the outcomes of the lives of Rhett, Summer, and Hunt. The author also painstakingly reconciles those outcomes; the internal debates are relevant and moving.
