The story

Six years ago, Tyler Johnson left Montana without saying goodbye.

He never intended to return. But after his discharge from the Army, his wife, Abigail, decides they’re moving to his hometown. It’s what she believes is best for their family. Yet Montana, like everything else, doesn’t want her.

Although he dreads returning, Tyler sees a chance for redemption. But how can he seek forgiveness when he swore never to reveal why he left?

As the past he ran from catches up with him, Abi begins to unravel. To save his family, Tyler must face the truth he spent years running from…

And the price of not saying goodbye.
