Nothing will be the same after the summer of 1964.
Drought has gripped the quiet Kentucky town of Hollyhill, and the
town seems as if it is holding its breath--waiting. Jocie Brooke is
nervous about starting high school. Her sister Tabitha is experiencing
the weariness of waiting for a new baby. Her father David is feeling the
timidity of those first steps toward true love. All of these pivotal
steps in life are awaiting the Brooke family.
Into this cloud of tense anticipation, the Hearndons move their
family from Chicago to plant an orchard outside of town. Fresh off the
Freedom Train, Myra Hearndon is sensitive to what the color of her skin
may mean in a Southern town. Her family will have to contend with more
than the dry ground and blazing sun as they try to create their orchard
of hope.
In this close-knit community, everything is about to change.

This is the long awaited sequel to
Scent of Lilacs ...and it was worth the wait!
This riveting novel will surprise you with unexpected love, new
life, and renewed faith amid life's trials. I highly recommend
both books in the series.
