For Ava Matthews, her grandparents’ farm was a place of holidays, not home: golden days in the fields, winters that felt charmed, and secrets traded in the treehouse with Jacob, her best friend and first love.
In London she had pictured a different future, including study abroad in fashion, far from the countryside she only visited.
After her parents’ marriage breaks apart, she is sent back among the autumn hills to put her life in order.
Jacob, who broke her heart two years ago, is still the boy next door, though he now seems farther away than ever.
As the leaves fall, old wounds start to ease and a second chance no longer feels impossible.
Ava has to decide where her future belongs, and whether her heart still belongs with him.
