Young Adult Contemporary

The story centers around Ellie Richardson, a city–savvy freelance writer who relocates to a rural town called Bystander. Her life hasn't been easy, but she's received her fair share of journalism accolades over the years.

In her own words, the reader learns of the tragic loss of her husband to cancer and her bold mission to rebuild a life for herself after his death. Using her life savings, she begins a new venture to build an online business that is centered around eco–friendly, country living.

Full of herself and possibly something else, Ellie leaps to more than a few faulty conclusions about the rural residents of Bystander, but still manages to make some good friends to ease the transition into a new lifestyle. When she meets a good–looking pastor from the local church, romance blooms.

Just as things are starting to look up, widespread terrorist attacks throw the nation into turmoil. It is up to Ellie to come up with an answer to the question: What do you do when your whole world turns upside down again and again? If your name is Ellie Richardson, you rise to the occasion and meet it head on!
