To say Sheriff Natalie Strand is shocked that Sarah Eastman, the girl who kissed her at a high school party, is back in town would be a huge understatement. Between Sarah’s return and a stray dog that gets the best of her, Natalie’s world is suddenly turned upside down.

They say you can’t go home again, but that’s exactly what Sarah does when she returns to Spruce Mountain, Oregon, to live with her aunt and uncle after her divorce. All she wants is peace and to ensure her daughter, Harley, has stability. Seeing Natalie again after 17 years ignites a passion that she hasn’t felt in a long time. Never mind that her heart tumbles in her chest or that she forgets words when Natalie’s around, she needs to focus on her family and getting her life back together.

Natalie and Sarah are about to discover that anything is possible when love takes the long way home.

Lesbians need to know that lesbian life is everywhere, even in small towns and not all small towns are intolerant. Many of us remember a high school love which warmed our heart like no other love since. This is a good “girl meets high school crush of the past and that high school dream becomes a reality.”

Not all lesbian love stories are tragic

Kris Bryant delivered a beautiful story about love and family. Surrounding the book with holidays and mixing in love, loss and new beginnings made the story even more enjoyable. Being a dog lover, I especially loved Henry's story and was pleasantly surprised to find it snuggled in at the end. As painful as it was to hear how he was treated, it was so beautiful that he got the happy ending most dogs in is position never get. To me, this was the best part of the book. So, kudos to Kris Bryant for giving us an enjoyable book and lovely. heartwarming story!

Great story about love, family, and friendship

Kris Bryant’s books are great and this one as well. I probably wouldn’t have Brittni Pope narrate it, but that because I don’t like her style, it sounds as if she is bored...

I loved the books

I enjoyed listening to this heartwarming story from start to finish and wish it had been a little longer but was still very beautiful.
I think Brittni did an excellent job on the voices.

I imagine this book as a story that began 17 years prior when two people fell in love with a single kiss without the other knowing and culminates 17 years after that first kiss when they find themselves back in the town where it started.

The last chapter with the dog was a wonderful addition :)

A true love story
