After a life-upending detour that left her stranded in Vermont, Leelee Satterfield is back in the South and determined to rebuild—though she's still nursing a serious case of heart-eyes for the man she left behind. Juggling single motherhood, a shiny new restaurant venture, and the relentless (but well-meaning) meddling of her three best friends, this Southern belle discovers that second chances are messier and more wonderful than she bargained for. With the same irresistible charm and laugh-out-loud moments that made her debut such a hit, Patton serves up a heartwarming reminder that sometimes you have to lose yourself to find exactly where you belong.
Reading soundtrack
Mix warm, witty country-pop with indie sweetness—think Kacey Musgraves meets fun, upbeat indie folk. Add breezy Southern charm, feel-good melodies, and acoustic moments of vulnerability. Capture hope, humor, and the bittersweet joy of starting over.
