A post-graduation stopover in her small hometown turns into career quicksand. Can love help her climb out?
After college, 23-year-old Kelsey Whitaker expected a dream job—not a one-way ticket back to her small hometown with nothing but a psychology degree her dad predicted would be useless. By day, she scans groceries and silently analyzes the contents of shopping carts. By night, she scours job boards, desperate for her Big Career Break.
Then a customer slips her a receipt with a desperate plea for help scribbled on the back. Soon, Kelsey is running a secret counseling service from her checkout lane—where her “clients” keep multiplying, the risks keep rising, and the guy in produce keeps making her wonder if escape is really what she wants.
When a long-distance dream job finally comes calling, Kelsey must decide: race toward the future she’s always imagined, or hold on to the unexpected purpose—and love—she’s found in the last place she thought she’d belong.
