The Bitter and Sweet of Cherry Season

This is a sweet story of family divides and redemption.

Hope arrives battered and scared with her ten-year-old daughter at her family’s northern Michigan property hoping that the aunt she doesn’t remember ever meeting won’t turn her away. Peg, on the other hand, is slow to trust and isn’t sure what to make of her niece’s appearance. You also get the viewpoint of Tink, Hope’s daughter who needs a safe place for her and her mother. All three have secrets that are haunting them, but maybe together—and with the help of the community—they can create a beautiful family before the end of the cherry season. It’s definitely a pick for fans of Viola Shipman and maybe Amy Reichert, Susan Wiggs or RaeAnne Thayne.
