Way Home, Mockingbird Bridge
A letter from the past will transform their future…
Taylor Colton always loved the crumbling plantation house passed down through his family for
generations. Now he’s bringing his popular renovation reality show to the small town of Colton,
Mississippi, so he can bring the plantation house known as Halcyon back to life for the cameras.
After an ugly breakup, Josephine Riley needs a new start to heal her broken heart in peace. A
hidden letter reveals a family secret that leads her to Colton to protect her family’s history and
honor a promise made before the Civil War… and to a house she didn’t know was hers.
Suddenly, Josephine must decide if she’s ready for the challenge of restoring a run-down
mansion and its history, and Taylor’s facing a challenge he can’t charm away. Together, they
must untangle a tragic history, a rocky relationship, and risk everything they love. Can they
overcome the past to find their way home?
