About The Book:
Selling real estate full time, raising two young daughters, clinging to a slipping marriage—Audrey’s life is definitely a balancing act. But when a tumble down the stairs leaves her with more than just a bump on the head, she wakes up five years in the past, before the first tear in her marriage threatened her trust in Travis.
Her kids are babies again. Her career is full of promise. Her dog, Willow, is still alive. In this miraculous do-over, she could prevent a heartbreaking tragedy and land a game-changing sale. But having it all means putting her trust in Travis and owning up to the part she might have played in their separation.
As she relives and revises the past, Audrey discovers who her real friends are and what her heart actually wants. But before she can truly come home, she must decide. Is Travis the obstacle holding her back from her dreams, or the key to having it all?
