The bestselling author of The Keeper of Stars returns with an intimate portrait of reinvention: when Cassandra Montgomery’s twenty year marriage dissolves, she sets out to recapture the woman she once was—and discover who she might still become—while there are still stars left in the sky. Twenty years together. One chance to begin again. It begins with a message from an old flame. Max Owens, Cassandra’s high school boyfriend. The one heartbreak she never quite outgrew. For months, they exchange messages that bridge decades of silence, until Nashville beckons with the promise of reunion. En route, Cassandra stops in Sims Chapel, hoping to walk in the footsteps of Sara Hastings, whose words once altered the trajectory of her young life. She arrives armed with memories and questions, anticipating answers, perhaps even peace. What she doesn’t anticipate is Conrad, the man at the marina, his eyes holding stories that mirror the fracture lines of her own heart. In Conrad’s company, Cassandra glimpses a startling truth—that the comfort she seeks may not lie in looking backward, but in daring to imagine a future unlike anything she’s ever known. Then Max appears without warning, disrupting the delicate cadence she and Conrad have begun to create. Caught between the legend of her first love and the raw, uncharted territory of new possibilities, Cassandra must navigate which narratives are worth keeping and which are meant to be rewritten.
