I Was Never Broken

By Hazel Anthony

A broken plan, a forgotten past, and a summer that changes everything.

Cedar Springs, Mississippi, 1997. Poppy Turner had her future mapped out: college degree in hand, a new job waiting, and a boyfriend ready to share it with. Then, life unraveled in an instant. Instead of moving forward, she's driving down a dirt road to her aunt's farm in the middle of nowhere, in search of a place to breathe and a way to forget.

What began as an escape has turned into something unexpected. Days on the farm bring quiet strength, a job sparks new purpose, and two brothers up the road who remind her what it feels like to hope again. Then, Poppy discovers a box of love letters tucked away in the attic; forgotten words from grandparents she never knew, brings a tale of devotion and resilience that bridges generations.

As summer stretches on, Poppy must confront the heartbreak and secrets she's been running from. Because sometimes, the only way forward is to look back.

Tender, heartfelt, and unforgettable, this coming-of-age story is about second chances, family ties, and the courage to open your heart again. Perfect for fans of small-town romances and emotional journeys that linger long after the last page.
