Tobey McLeod: Army Vet. Motorcycle Mechanic. Single Dad. Not too proud to ask for directions when he's lost on the dirt roads of nowhere, Ohio. Emmett Tran: Computer Engineer. Musician. Widower. Too busy trying to keep his life afloat to realize how truly lost he is in this small town he's never left. Tobey and Emmett: They have their own lives, their own problems, their own kids; they certainly don't need to take on each other's. So why is Tobey having such a hard time finding a reason to leave? And why is Emmett not telling him to go? Jessie Sanders is a freelance editor and calls the Pacific Northwest her home. She is the author of the Grover Cleveland Academy series.
