Publisher Description

Her husband’s suicide left Nora MacKenzie alone, and his shady Wall Street dealings left the Manhattan socialite penniless. By a miracle she’s held on to their mountainside farm — and she’ll keep holding on, no matter what. The property is Nora’s one chance to wring some dignity out of the sham she’s been living. The Vermont locals think she’s a city girl on a nature kick, but she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty. Nora’s serious about learning the farming business…if she can figure out where to begin. Against the locals’ skepticism, she has only one ally: Charles “C.W.” Walker. C.W. is hardworking, gentle with the animals and a patient teacher of the hundreds of chores Nora needs to learn. Slowly she starts to believe she’ll survive in her new life, even flourish. She might even be willing to open her heart again. But she won’t return to a life of lies…and the truth about C.W. may be more than Nora’s fragile heart can bear.

"This book is amazing! While it is very, very sad it is completely a miracle what this baby is born into and how she grows up and overcomes what her parents and life dishes out to her. I recommend that everyone read this book. If I could rate it higher than 5 stars I would! Happy reading:-)"

    " An okay read with some striking observations - the point where Gabriella realizes why Joe, and pretty much everyone else, persists in calling her strong, especially - but the prose and most of the characters are flat and largely uninteresting to me. "
