As three generations of women navigate the uncertain paths of their
hearts and futures, one summer promises to bring change--whether they're
ready for it or not.
At thirty-eight, garden shop owner Jessie McBride thinks her chances for
romance are years behind her and, after her failed marriage, she's fine
with that. She lives contentedly with her fiery mother and her quiet,
headstrong daughter. But the unexpected arrival of two men on Glory Road
make her question if she's really happy with the status quo.
Handsome, wealthy Sumner Tate asks her to arrange flowers for his
daughter's wedding, and Jessie finds herself drawn to his continued
attention. Ben Bradley, her lingering what-could-have-been from her high
school days who's known her better than anyone and whom she hasn't seen
in years, moves back to the red dirt road. Jessie finds her heart being
pulled in directions she never expected.
Meanwhile, Jessie's fourteen-year-old daughter, Evan, is approaching the
start of high school and trying to navigate a new world of identity and
emotions--particularly as they relate to the cute new guy who's moved in
just down the road. At the same time, Jessie's mother, Gus, increasingly
finds herself forgetful and faces a potentially frightening future.
For these three strong Southern women, the roots they've planted on
Glory Road will give life to the adventures waiting just around the
curve.
