June, 1947. Charleston is poised to celebrate the biggest wedding in high-society history, the joining of two of the oldest families in the city. Except the bride is nowhere to be found
Unlike the rest of the debs she grew up with, Vada Hadley doesnโt see marrying Justin McLeod as a blessingโshe sees it as a life sentence. So when she finds herself one day away from a wedding she doesnโt want, sheโs left with no choice but to run away from the future her parents have so carefully planned for her.
In Round O, South Carolina, Vada finds independence in the unexpected friendships she forms at the boarding house where she stays, and a quiet yet fulfilling courtship with the local diner owner, Frank Darling. For the first time in her life, she finally feels like sheโs where sheโs meant to be. But when her dear friend Darby hunts her down, needing help, Vada will have to confront the life she gave upโand decide where her heart truly belongs.
