All roads lead home. That thought mingled with the soothing sound of Debussy as Cara descended from the majestic highlands of Tennessee toward the sultry lowcountry of South Carolina. Her brand-new red station wagon wound its way past racing rivers and creeks that flowed south to the ocean, past billboards advertising fireworks, fruit stands, deserted gas stations, and tumbledown antiques shops. Signs of spring - yellow jasmine blooms against lush greens - dotted the countryside. From time to time a flock of birds would fill the sky, and she would crane her neck to watch them migrating north. A short laugh escaped her lips. We are all heading home to nest, Cara thought.
Beach House Reunion by Mary Alice Monroe
Each decision she made now had rippling consequences. Cara felt her resolve stir. She needed to be home now, more than ever.

This sounds lovely. The cover works for me too.
Nice quote- really evokes that sense of place.
Seems such a relaxing read.
