Jacqueline Keys was ostracized from her small hometown of Pine Springs, Texas, when she was 17, sent away because she was gay. Her family was the largest employer in the county, owning Pine Springs Lumber, and her father was mayor of this small town. Her mother could not accept the fact that her only child was gay, could not tolerate the gossip about her family. So, with a hundred dollars in her pocket and a one-way bus ticket out of town, Jacqueline was told not to come back until she had come to her senses. And that included being prepared to marry the son of a business associate of the family.
Fifteen years later - long after she'd hitch-hiked to Los Angeles, long after she'd worked nights to put herself through college, and long after she'd written her first best seller, No Place for Family - Jacqueline is persuaded to go back to the tiny town of Pine Springs after her father's death.
The quick trip she'd envisioned for the funeral turns into weeks as she learns her father's business is suddenly hers to manage. And she is also again face-to-face with the woman who, as a teen, had been Jackie's first crush. She and Kay had been inseparable as kids and later as teens. They find themselves falling back into their old habits, and Jackie is soon fighting the same feelings she'd had when she was 17.

Another beautiful story. Jacqueline Keys, being driven out of her small town as a teenager for being gay was very sad to read. Her homecoming was only brightened by being reunited with her childhood best friend, Kay, who also had a tragic life after Jackie's departure.
Both Jackie and Kay went through some real s#!t in their pasts, and you can't help but feel that if they were able to remain in each other's lives, then they could've helped each other. You soon realize that it doesn't matter. Reuniting is enough to light a spark between them... there was such beautiful chemistry there.
