Beckham Strong walked away from a great city, a good job, and a decent relationship, because the call of his small hometown in the rural Pacific Northwest was too powerful to ignore.

Collins Kingsley watched her dreams go up in smoke . . . literally.

When her hair salon, Posh Moments, burns to the ground, she’s left with a fistful of insurance money and no direction.
