Over His Head — Carolyn McSparren

This was supposed to be paradise.

That's why Tim Wainwright moved his three children to Williamston, Tennessee, population 123. It was to be a refuge from the tragedy that had fractured their lives, a place where Tim could forget his mistakes.

That's what the place meant to Nancy Mayfield. The veterinary technician thought she had finally achieved balance and peace in her life, and had put her past behind her.

Except no one and no place is perfect -- not even Williamston. But maybe two imperfect people make one whole lot of sense.
