Temper Martin had never been what could be called normal growing up, nor was she much for having roots. She had always craved excitement and adventure that she was sure the small town she'd grown up in could never provide. Temper was a wanderer, her name always in the wind, but when her sister unexpectedly dies, and Temper is called home to be guardian to her niece, she knows her wandering days are over. She braces herself for a staid life in a small town. What she doesn't realize is her greatest adventure has always been waiting for her in her own backyard.
