   Summary

   At 25, James moves back in with his aunt and uncle, broke and defeated after his Hollywood filmmaking dreams crashed and burned. Derry is only supposed to be a temporary stop, just a place to catch his breath until he figures out his next move. Between dead-end jobs and lingering regrets, James clings to the idea that being back in Derry means having the chance to finally figure out his life…at least until news of Erin’s sudden engagement unsettles him more than he’d like to admit.
