Truly Home - Hale J.J.

The residents of Ruth Miller's small rural village took it upon themselves to guide her after her parents died. But she's an adult now and determined to find her own path, starting with learning more about the parents she lost too soon. Maybe if she understands who they were and how they shaped her, she'll be able to share her life with someone special without the cold fingers of anxiety locking her into the comfort of familiar surroundings.

Olivia Bell's chaotic childhood has left her lonely. Her independence has served her well in everything except relationships, and she's desperately searching for connection. She never had a happy home and left the minute she was old enough. The only person she can rely on is her little sister Grace, but Grace needs her help caring for their father--the last thing Olivia wants to do.

When Ruth and Olivia meet, they become the one bright spot in each other's days. But Ruth wishes more than anything for the family she lost, and Olivia would do almost anything to escape hers. Could home ever be more than a four-letter word?
