When a brilliant Tokyo lawyer walks away from everything he's built, he doesn't expect to find redemption waiting on a quiet mountain road.

After twenty-three years of success, Keisuke Tanaka abandons the skyscrapers and courtrooms that defined him, seeking solitude in an old ryokan hidden in Niigata's snow-covered mountains. He wants silence. He finds Haruka—a runaway bookshop owner fleeing a life scripted by her controlling mother.

What begins as a brief refuge becomes something far deeper: two fractured souls learning to rebuild not just their lives, but their capacity for love. Together, they transform a forgotten inn into a sanctuary of thought, books, and renewal. Yet when Keisuke's past resurfaces—a scandal threatening the legal world he left behind—they must decide whether to hide from the world or face it, side by side.

From the author of contemporary literary romances that blend intellect and emotion, The Station Called Home is a luminous story about rebirth, courage, and the quiet power of choosing to stay.
