Synopsis
&“March writes lyrically about the orchard and Lake Superior . . . [a] story of love, forgiveness, and growing into adulthood.&”—St. Paul Pioneer Press Sensible and self-reliant, Shelby Meyers knows exactly what she wants. She&’ll never again depend on her errant mother, Jackie, who abandoned Shelby when she was a baby—and is forever searching for an elusive, glittering life. All Shelby needs is her beautiful, windswept Lake Superior, her loving grandparents, and the treasured-but-struggling family apple orchard she helps run—until a new love, Ryan Chambers, opens her heart to chance, and her eyes to a wider world than she ever imagined. But just as Shelby is looking toward an exciting future, Jackie unexpectedly returns—determined to make up for the past and &“help&” her daughter get everything she never could. Her confidence shaken, Shelby finds herself at odds with Ryan, and with his wealthy family&’s overbearing expectations. Now, through wrenching change and sudden loss, Shelby must find a way to see herself, and her mother, in a new light, forge an all-too-fragile understanding—and risk the kind of freedom that brings its own unexpected, enduring rewards . . . &“[An] impressive setting . . . March is skillful not only at rendering her setting, but also at raising questions in the reader&’s mind about Shelby&’s fate and withholding answers for many chapters.&”—Minneapolis Star Tribune &“March&’s debut novel visits the charming, idyllic town of Bayfield, Wisc., nestled on the shore of Lake Superior . . . March&’s setting is lovingly drawn.&”—Publishers Weekly &“A wonderful debut novel . . . March is a stellar new author.&”—RT Book Reviews
