A mother's homecoming

the long version

"For Pamela Jo Wilson, returning to her sleepy Mississippi hometown means coming face-to-face with her past. At seventeen, overwhelmed by the responsibilities of a new marriage and family, she fled Mimosa. But Nick Shepard wasn't the only one Pam left behind. Now, thirteen years later, she just hopes she can make things right with her ex-husband and the child she barely knows. Nick's first instinct is to protect his daughter, but his little girl is hell-bent on meeting the woman who left her behind"--P. [4] of cover.
