Maxwell Wallace has spent most of her vagabond life moving from fixer-upper to fixer-upper with her dad, Cal, and though she loves her dad, she's ready to move onto the next thing-college-to find her own version of home without him. Given that her whole life has been transient and temporary, when she meets Griffin Nichols, she figures it will be another relationship that shifts like the tumbleweeds on a breeze, here one moment and gone the next. Except, even as she leaves for college and the next phase of her life, she can't shake her feelings for Griffin and what she's leaving behind. Max begins to question everything she believes about herself as someone who stays, and what the idea of home really means.
