Shoe in the Road: A Boston Calbreth Novel

By Sandra Bass Joines

She ran. He followed. Now nowhere is safe.
A gripping story of escape, danger, and survival as one woman fights to break free from the life that threatens to destroy her.

Boston Calbreth thought leaving would save her.
Leaving the cheating.
Leaving the control.
Leaving Charlie.

But nobody leaves Charlie.

With nothing but a vintage Coupe de Ville, her grandmother's ashes riding shotgun, and a past she can't out run, Boston heads south and straight toward the haunting wilderness of Tate's Hell Swamp.

She thinks she's alone.
She's not.

A mysterious cat with a mind of its own refuses to leave her side.
A stranger with secrets keeps appearing when she needs him most.
And the man she fled is closer than she ever imagined.

In the quiet coastal town of Apalachicola, Boston begins to rebuild, finding fragile hope, unexpected connection, and the possibility of something more.

But trust is dangerous.
And survival comes at a cost.
Because this isn't just a story about escape.
It's about what happens when running isn't enough.

Blending domestic suspense, emotional women's fiction, and a touch of magical realism, Shoe in the Road is a compelling story of survival, second chances, and the unseen forces that guide us when we need it most.

Perfect for readers who love:
Women's fiction with suspense;
On-the-run thrillers;
Small-town coastal settings;
Slow-burn romance with tension;
A hint of magic woven into reality.

Because sometimes the thing chasing you isn't the only thing watching.
