Leaving (The Baxters―Bailey Flanigan)

A small-town girl finally has her chance at becoming an actress on Broadway—but can she really give up everything she’s ever known?

Bailey Flanigan is finally leaving her small-town home of Bloomington, Indiana, for the adventure of a lifetime: she has gotten a part in a Broadway musical in New York City. She’s determined to take advantage of this unbelievable opportunity, but is she really ready to leave family and friends for the loneliness of the big city? And what about Cody, her former boyfriend? His disappearance has her worried about their future and praying that their love can survive.

Cody has been struggling with his own problems. In order to be closer to his mother, who’s in prison for a drug charge, Cody takes a coaching job in a small community outside Indianapolis. New friends, distance, and circumstances expose cracks in his relationship with Bailey.

Love, loneliness, big opportunities, and even bigger decisions put these two young people to the test in the first book in the Bailey Flanigan series. Featuring members of the popular Baxter family from bestselling author Karen Kingsbury’s beloved Redemption series, discover what’s in store for Bailey and Cody.
