Summary:
Why Charley Bordelon's late father left her eight hundred acres of sugarcane land in rural Louisiana is as mysterious as it was generous. With a chance to start over, Charley and her eleven-year-old daughter, Micah, say goodbye to Los Angeles. They arrive just in time for growing season. As the sweltering summer unfolds, Charley must balance the challenges of her farm with the demands of a homesick daughter, a bitter and troubled brother, and the startling desires of her own heart.
