From the fan-favorite author of Underneath the Sycamore Tree comes another raw, real, and unforgettable story of love and loss.
Thirteen years ago, Sawyer Hawkins and her childhood friend Paxton shared secrets and snacks at their favorite wooden footbridge…until Hurricane Katrina forced Sawyers family to head north. But after the long battle with non-Hodgkins lymphoma that kept her away, twenty-one-year-old Sawyer is finally heading back to Louisiana for university.
Now with a new lease on life, Sawyer wants to be a normal college girl. Check items off her list—make friends, go to parties, fall in love, and find her favorite bridge again. Even if Paxton is no longer there.
And her mysterious, gorgeous neighbor Banks might just be able to help her with that list.
But as their friendship grows, so do the secrets between them. Sawyers future is more complicated than she lets on, and theres a reason Banks doesnt talk about his home life. The closer they get to one another, the more their bruised hearts are in danger of falling—or breaking. And when Sawyer learns Banks is Paxton Banks, and Banks realizes shes the same Sawyer from long ago, theyll find that while their footbridge may still be standing, its up to them to cross the distance to each other.
