Nothing is as it seems in New Hope, Indiana—the land of curly-haired designer dogs, bunco nights, and impeccably manicured lawns. Where the good kids from good families live. Except... it has a dark side.
Wanting the good life for her sons, Holly Simon stretched to afford a home in picture-perfect suburbia. Her dream is destroyed the night her son is found unresponsive but alive after an overdose on prescription drugs in the neighborhood park.
Forced to navigate the terrifying gauntlet of addiction and treatment, she uncovers a maze of secrets and lies that rocks her to her core. Can she find a way through before her heart shatters again? How far will she have to go to save her son?
Back to Before explores one mother’s roller coaster ride of hope and heartache and her herculean effort to rebuild and heal herself and those she loves most.
Book Two: Better Than Before
Starting over is never as easy as it sounds.
To heal herself and her sons, Holly Simon made the radical decision to move seventeen hundred miles away to begin a brand new life as an Airbnb host just outside Yellowstone National Park.
Forced to fake it until she makes it, she soon realizes that her old problems have a way of resurfacing. No matter how far she goes to outrun them.
Self-doubts and paralyzing fears begin to creep back in as Holly works to establish their new lives in a small town, bowled over by the overwhelming challenges of being a single mother living in the wild west.
The events of one snowy night send her life on a fresh trajectory she never saw coming and give her a glimpse of the happily ever after she’d long stopped believing in. Will Holly finally settle in and grab the happiness she’s always dreamed of, or will she let her insecurities stand in the way?
