Three years after leaving the neighborhood she grew up in, she returns to Blackwater for her father’s birthday expecting nothing more than a short visit and old memories. Instead, coming home forces her back into the lives of the people she never fully stopped loving — her loud, affectionate family, the neighborhood that still feels like home no matter how dangerous it can be, and Zion Reed, the cocky ex-boyfriend she thought she had moved on from years ago. But in Blackwater, nobody forgets anything for long.
