Growing Season - Lageschulte, Melanie

. .

Résumé :
A faded farmhouse, a devoted dog. One special season. Melinda is already at a crossroads when the for rent sign beckons her down a dusty gravel lane. Facing forty, single and downsized from her stellar career at a big-city ad agency, she's struggling to start over when a phone call brings her home to rural Iowa. It's not long before she moves to the country, takes on a rundown farm and its headstrong animals, and lands behind the counter of her family's hardware store in the community of Prosper, whose motto is The Great Little Town That Didn't. And just like the sprawling garden she tends under the summer sun, Melinda soon begins to thrive. But when storm clouds form on her horizon, can she hold on to the new life she's worked so hard to create? Filled with memorable characters, from a big-hearted farm dog to the weather-obsessed owner of the local co-op, Growing Season celebrates the twists and turns of small-town life. Discover the heartwarming series that's filled with new friends, fresh starts and second chances. First in a series LARGE-PRINT EDITION: Body font is 16pt Georgia on 21pt.
