Publisher's summary

Max Abbott takes center stage in the Butler, Vermont Series finale when the timeline jumps forward five years and finds Max staring down his ten-year high-school reunion with no desire whatsoever to attend. Under pressure from friends and family, he ends up glad he went when he connects with the one person from high school he didn’t keep in touch with—his ex-girlfriend, Lexi, who has been “missing” the last ten years. When he finds out where she’s been—and why—and realizes all the old familiar feelings are still there, he’ll have to decide if he can risk taking a chance on an uncertain situation with her or if he’d rather continue to go it alone with his son, Caden.

Find out where all the Abbotts and Colemans are and what Fred the Moose is up to five years later as this beloved series comes to an exciting conclusion.

Great Ending!

I have loved this series and characters for many years! Marie Force outdid herself in bringing this large cast of characters through five years of living and giving her readers this finale!

wonderful series!

This is the last, but one of the best installments in the Butler series. I loved getting caught up on all the family members. The final chapter was amazing!
Avery Caris is a great narrator!

Loved it

The story was great. It brought us up to speed on of the whole family. Loved the way you started & ended it with Elmer, as that is truly where it all started.
The narration was the best yet. She moved so easily from one character to the next & I often thought it was a different person. ❤️❤️
Thanks Marie for another great story & for all the stories. Keep writing.
