Publisher's Synopsis
The year was 1935 and Darlene Jackson had dealt with a difficult year. One day, she got up, packed her car and drove back to her home town in Cadet, Missouri. She couldn't help but feel out-of-place. She had been living in the city since she left home at the age of 18, and had married her best friend, Billy Jackson. She had lived in the city for 10 years. She had tried to stay in touch by writing letters to her parents and best friend Sally, but none of them had heard from her in over a year. She had gone through a lot of heartache during that time and hadn't known what to do about it. That's how she found herself sitting right there in her car watching as her friend Sally's husband Abner, came outside to greet her. She could tell at first that he hadn't recognized her and that when he had; a thousand questions came to his mind. She hoped that soon a lot of his questions could be answered and that everyone could understand why she had been silent for as long as she had.
Will Darlene find the comfort that she seeks? How will her parents and Sally react to her return? Only time would tell.
