Can you ever really go home again? For someone like me who had moved seven times by the time I was ten years old, it's hard to say where home is. Some say it's where the heart is and some say home is just a concept, not really a place. That's where Noah seems to have found himself. He's at a crossroads and returning to the place he was happiest seems like a good idea.Noah grew up in La Paz with his artist father and until his sophomore year when his father was killed, they were the happiest years he had. His mother shortly remarried and moved him far away, away from his home and his best friend, Phoenix. Noah did everything they told him to do, went to college where they said, and even started law school at their behest. Second year of law school he had enough, dropped out, and made his own way. Now, after his career is over, his life in flux, he's gone back to the little town he grew up in trying to figure out what he should do now.Phoenix has come home to bury his mother and never expects to see Noah. He definitely doesn't expect to hear what Noah tells him happened twelve years prior before Noah moved away. Phoenix has a lot of secrets and a lot of bad memories weighing him down. Growing up the son of the town drunk who abused him and threw him away has left Phoenix with plenty of baggage.These are two best friends, separated for twelve years, reunited unexpectedly to discover all the love they always shared is still there and even stronger. It was a beautiful story of life, loss, hope, and love. Maybe you can go home again and maybe it is where the heart lies.NOTE: This book was provided by Amber Allure for the purpose of a review on Rainbow Book Reviews
