Levi heads home to the small rural town of Twin Rivers, Illinois, for the first time in two decades to settle his grandmother's estate and to attend his 25th high school reunion. It isn't long before he's reunited with the only woman he's ever truly loved, Tori Buchanan. Then the unexpected happens. He gets the spark of an idea. As he works on it, he knows it could very well become his next novel. But as Levi researches this new novel, he stumbles upon a decades-old secret-a secret that will inexplicably change his life and the peaceful little town of Twin Rivers forever.
