Returning home might save the town -- but could cost her everything.

Orphaned as a teenager, veterinarian Charlie Anderson built a life on her own terms -- far from the fractured family she left behind in the rural town of Naringup.

But when a suspected Hendra virus outbreak draws her back to Naringup, Charlie is forced to face the very past she thought she'd escaped.

Returning means confronting the people she walked away from: a cousin she left behind, an aunt whose choices shattered her world, and a tangle of grief and resentment she's kept buried for years.

As panic over the outbreak grows, Charlie teams up with local ranger Joel Drummond -- whose easy warmth and unruly family offer a glimpse of the connection she's longed for.

When tensions reach breaking point, Charlie must decide: will she find the courage to heal old wounds, or walk away for good -- and risk losing the only family she has left?

Close to Home is a standalone novel in The Homecoming Collection - an emotionally layered, page-turning story of family, resilience, and the ties that pull us back home.
