Synopsis
In the stunning first novel FALLING HOME, Karen White introduced readers to the magic of small town Walton, Georgia, and a charming cast of characters who captured our hearts. Who can resist a return trip…especially when love is about to transform the lives of two very special people?
When photographer Suzanne Paris lands in Walton, Georgia, she's pretty sure she's never seen a town so small-or quite so disquieting. It's a far cry from the life she left behind-and Joe Warner is nothing like any man she's known in the past. He's the mayor, in the first place, and in the second…he has six children. Hardly a picture-perfect boyfriend for a woman who's on the run and can't stick around. But something about Joe's slow Southern warmth lights up Suzanne in places that have been cold for far too long-and tempts her to look at life through a whole new lens…
Even in a dinky place like Walton, the mayor has big work to do-and very little time for anything resembling a relationship, especially with a pretty out-of-towner who seems to be keeping secrets. But even if Suzanne isn't exactly the ideal choice for a new romance, Joe can't help but wonder if the way she smiles at him means that he's made a dent in the sturdy wall around her heart…and he begins to believe that there really is sunshine… After the Rain

April 02, 2003: Suzanne Paris is on the run, her ex fianc? Anthony deSalvo making her life miserable, when she makes a snap decision to get off her Atlanta bound bus in Walton, Georgia. Trying to find a ride into town, she encounters mayor Joe Warner, his 6 kids along with Aunt Lucinda, who insist she accompany them. Walton is a small town, not even boasting a hotel, so Joe finds a place for Suzanne to stay, and unknowingly ensconces her into his, and his family?s life. Suzanne is unfamiliar with children, but Joe?s kids seem to grow on her as she does them. Joe, being the mayor, teacher and single dad, doesn?t have much time left for relationships, and really hasn?t considered once since his wife passed away. But as the story progresses, he and Suzanne have something going on between them that can?t be ignored, and with the help of the kids and huge cast of secondary characters, manage to snag time for themselves. Suzanne knows the day will come when her past will catch up with her and she will have to move on, but this is made more difficult as Joe and half the population of Walton entwine themselves around her heart. As Joe and Suzanne chip away at the armor surrounding their souls, and the local bully running against Joe for mayor try to make things more difficult for them, the reader can only hope that they get what they deserve in life, that being each other. This is an exceptional book!
