She came home for a fresh start. What she finds might change everything.

Newly divorced and completely burned out, Dottie heads back to Blue Holly—the charming lake town where her family made their best memories. She's hoping for peace and purpose. Instead, she finds a grown-up mountain town with an identity problem, and her Aunt Lo is packing to leave with a single offer on the table: a crumbling old hardware store with a "fix it up and it's yours" kind of catch.

Dottie doesn’t know a wrench from a whisk, has no capital, and even less confidence. But when she stumbles on a forgotten moonshine still in the garage of the Red Arrow, inspiration (and mischief) strike. Maybe Blue Holly doesn’t need another hardware store. Maybe what it needs is a brewery.

With the help of a ragtag crew of locals and the unwavering, utterly compelling Crawford Woody, Dottie sets out to transform the Red Arrow hardware store into a small-town haven. But as opposition mounts and secrets rise to the surface, she'll have to decide if she's ready to fight for the town—and future—she's only just discovered.

Heartfelt, hopeful, and full of humor, Back to Blue Holly is a feel-good novel about second chances, small-town drama, and the unexpected ways we find our place—and our people.
