Grounded
Angela Correll, 2013
New York City flight attendant Annie Taylor is grounded, putting a halt to weekends in Rome and her jet-setting lifestyle. With nowhere else to go, Annie leaves the city for the family farm in Kentucky, a place she’s avoided for years. She finds a shotgun-wielding grandmother, a farm in disrepair, and a suspicious stranger renting the old stone house. The country quiet haunts Annie with reminders of a past that can’t be changed. As the summer heats up, so do her feelings for her childhood best friend Jake, who is in another relationship. Yet, during her crashing life, Annie sees a glimmer of hope for a second chance.
