We love talking about the conflict between two characters who desperately want to be together, but one will have to give up their goals! Join us as we explore "Back Where We Started" with author and podcaster Becca Freeman.

Katie’s wildest dreams have come true. She’s a Hollywood actress, starring in the movies and TV shows she dreamed of making as a teenager. Sure, she still struggles with the way media treats women and unimaginative, derivative roles, but from where she stands today, her hometown of Dutch Ridge, Pennsylvania feels a million miles away—and that makes it all worth it.

Because Dutch Ridge can only ever represent her first love: Drew. Every street is filled with memories of their shared adolescence, how they were each other’s first everything, the hours they spent planning for their future. Drew was going to be the president, and Katie was going to be the next Julia Roberts. Their shared extraordinary ambitions brought them together at sixteen—and drove them apart years later.

Now, her career feeling precarious and her personal life a mess, a promise to her sister means Katie has to return to Dutch Ridge this Christmas for the first time in years. She immediately runs into Drew, who, despite following a different path than the one they dreamed together, seems happy. As their run-ins heat up and the two can't keep themselves away from each other, Katie begins to wonder whether her accolade-filled Hollywood life really fulfills her after all.
