The Long Way Home : A Blooming Falls Novel
Shannon Bruno

She's the ultimate success story, a country girl discovered during spring break who actually made it and can call herself a star - but now, with an Oscar nomination and international success so close she can taste it, the strangest thing happens . . .
Ivy realizes she's had enough. Enough of the stuck up actresses she's always competing with, enough of her oh-so-tantalizing ex-boyfriend, Shawn - and really, enough of Hollywood altogether. So without notice, she walks away from everything and goes home to Arkansas to start over right where she started, without even waiting to find out if she won that Oscar or not. But Hollywood isn't finished with Ivy just yet . . . and neither is Shawn . . .
