Tailgate Between The Stars
About
He wasn’t looking for healing. But it found him—one quiet night at a time. Jace Carter doesn’t talk much—not since his grandfather passed and cancer took his father soon after. The old pickup, the quiet diner, and the stars overhead are all he has left of the men who made him who he is. But grief doesn’t fill the silence—it deepens it. Then Claire walks in. With fig jam, patience, and a quiet strength of her own, she doesn’t try to fix him. She just stays. Set in a small town where healing comes slow and love comes softer, Tailgate Between the Stars is a tender, hopeful story about loss, memory, and finding your way back to life—one night under the stars at a time.
