From the bestselling author of The Mountain Between Us comes the
moving story of a man with a painful past, a little girl with a doubtful
future, and a shared journey toward healing for both of their hearts.
It begins on the shaded town square in a sleepy Southern town. A
spirited seven-year-old has a brisk business at her lemonade stand. But
the little girl's pretty yellow dress can't quite hide the ugly scar on
her chest.
Her latest customer, a bearded stranger, drains his cup and heads to his
car, his mind on a boat he's restoring at a nearby lake. The stranger
understands more about the scar than he wants to admit. And the beat-up
bread truck careening around the corner with its radio blaring is about
to change the trajectory of both their lives.
Before it's over, they'll both know there are painful reasons why
crickets cry . . . and that miracles lurk around unexpected corners.
