EXPERIENCE SOMERVILLE

Vibrant characters, Southern charm, fresh storytelling
In Grounded, when cutbacks and a failed relationship ground New York City flight attendant Annie Taylor, she decides to leave behind her jet-setting lifestyle to regroup at the family farm in Kentucky — a place she’s avoided for years. Though the country quiet haunts Annie with reminders of a complicated family past, she finds hope for a second chance at love and an unexpected passion for the simple life.

Guarded continues Annie's journey of reconciliation as she works to save a dilapidated stone house filled with family secrets, repair old relationships, and grow her newfound love. When Annie finds a World War II connection in the house, it sends her across the world to Italy to get to the bottom of the mystery. As it unfolds, she is forced to face her own past. Will Annie let history sabotage her future?

“Guarded is a moving, deeply felt novel of love and rebuilding and the way letters can bridge generations and continents both. This multi-layered tale of mystery and family and finding love when it seems on the brink of being lost forever is a fitting sequel to Grounded, and Angela Correll has proven yet again she's a storyteller of the first order. Read this book!”
