Moodboard #1 + Notes: “Never Coming Back Home” (A Small Town Romance)

by | Sep 10, 2025

Sooo, as a Tennessee girl, I’m proud to let you know that I’m releasing my first small-town romance straight to you in the coming weeks. I have a lot to share in the coming days, but for now, let’s dive into where this story takes place.

Welcome to Eads River, Tennessee

Here, you’ll find backroads that stretch so far into the distance you can’t see where they end…

You’ll find diners and shops that welcome you with open arms and a smile whenever you walk through the door…Fields and farms cared for by generations of family hands—fingers far too busy to log into social media or tap into the city life that’s hundreds of miles away.

If you’re a tourist, be a tourist. We like our way of life just fine, and we don’t have any signs up with suggestions to make your temporary stay better.

Take a walk around the wheat fields that guard our town’s edges, breathe in the cool, crisp air near Garner Lake. Take off your watch, turn off your phone… time runs differently here.

Oh, and whatever you do, don’t do or say anything you don’t want the entire town to know. (Gossip runs faster than the speed of light in this place.)

I can’t wait to share more about “Never Coming Back Home” with you, & I’ll be blogging about it since it’s so close to home. <3

F.L.Y.
