Ever since Anna and Felty Helmuth's grandson, Ben, broke his engagement and moved to Florida, Emma Nelson has kept busy tending her vegetable garden and raising award-winning pumpkins. She can put her heartache aside to help Ben's Mammi with her garden, at least until Ben shows up to lend support to his ailing Dawdi. Gardening side by side with pretty, nurturing Emma is a sweet kind of torture for Ben, who cares too much to burden her with his secret. Yet Emma's courage is daring him to accept the grace and love that flourishes here.
