Return to North Carolina for another "helping" of Southern wit and wisdom from critically acclaimed novelist Lynne Hinton, author of the Hope Springs series.
The townspeople in Pleasant Cross, North Carolina have always suspected the Ivy women of having "the powers," a subconscious ability to predict the future. And, twins Tessa and Liddy, each have their own brand of the family ability, as at eighteen years old they embark on graduating from high school and deciding what to do with their lives. Tessa works in the local diner and Liddy plans on a future in cosmetology. However, a life changing car accident, when Tessa swerves to miss a deer in the roadway, begins to shape the girls in ways that they had never dreamed.
Who was the black man that aided in getting Tessa to the hospital that was pulling an Airstream travel trailer with Nevada license plates and introduced himself as Rev. Renfrow? And, did he have someone else with him named Sterling?
You'll delight in the everyday happenings of Pleasant Cross and the events that shape the lives of Grandma, Bertie, Liddy, and Tessa, as they arrive at some critical crossroads of life.
In Hinton's style, you'll celebrate small town life and value the relationships that we all hold so dear! |
