A poignant new novel of love and risk from the author of the New York Times–bestselling Oprah Book Club selection What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day
Oprah Winfrey recommended Pearl Cleage’s previous novel to her vast television audience, and soon hundreds of thousands of readers were reveling in the joys and sorrows of life in tiny Idlewild, Michigan. In her eagerly awaited follow-up, Cleage brings back the characters who stole readers’ hearts—but this time, Ava’s big sister Joyce, will sparkle.
Unlike her younger sister, Joyce has never been flamboyant; she has never owned a red dress or experienced the kind of life that goes with it. But now, after many years of selfless service to others, she feels it’s time to do something special for herself—especially since there’s the unmistakable hint of romance on the wind.
