From the author of The Running Dream comes a heart-swelling
historical tale of friendship, family, and the power of sisterhood to
help heal the wounds of the past and step boldly into the future.
Ginny Rose and Peggy were best friends at seven, picking peaches on hot
summer days. Peggy's family owned the farm, and Ginny Rose's were
pickers, escaping the Oklahoma dust storms. That didn't matter to them
then, but now, ten years, hard miles, and a world war later, Ginny
Rose's family is back in town and their differences feel somehow
starker. Especially since Peggy's new best friend, Lisette, is a wealthy
banker's daughter.
Still, there's no denying what all three girls have in common: Families
with great fissures that are about to break wide open. And a
determination to not just accept things as they are anymore.
This summer they will each make a stand. It's a season of secrets
revealed. Of daring plans to heal old wounds. Of hearts won and hearts
broken. A summer when everything changes because you're seventeen, and
it's time to be bold. And because it's easier to be brave with a true
friend by your side.
