At forty-five, Jane McArdle has experienced her share of life’s twists and turns. Yet she’s shaken by the sudden death of her estranged half sister and the news that she’s now the guardian of her orphaned niece, Lucy.

Still nurturing unresolved grief from a marriage bookended by loss, as well as her guilt over her adult son’s imperfect upbringing, Jane is her own worst enemy, content to focus on her small Michigan farm. Now, confronted with a traumatized eleven-year-old, the prickly empty nester is thrust into motherhood again, unsure she’ll do any better this time.

City girl Lucy is bewildered by aloof Aunt Jane and a new life in rural Michigan. The debilitating phobia Lucy has developed since her parents’ deaths keeps her stuck in this place that’s nothing like home. She secretly plots to run away to live with other relatives. Jane and Lucy must decide if they’ll both endure yet another loss—each other—or if their paths will lead them to forge a new family together.

It was a sweet story, but it didn't move me much. It might appeal to young teens more.

Heart warming and so well written. Two tragedies years apart. How an aunt and niece come together. I kept wondering though why Aunt Jane didn't ask Lucy, why she was afraid of of the grass. Perseverance and strength.

This is a good story and a bit of a tear jerker. It can be alittle slow. The excitement in the book could have been written; or maybe read in such a way that you were more involved in the outcome. It is written in such a way you know everything will be just fine no matter what. This story is believable. Could be a bio. The end was a little anticlimactic but I love suspense. A sweet story wherever triumphs all. The narration was very good btw.

A sweet story about the love and triumph of family
