1940s Colorado: Teenage Victoria Nash is the only woman in a family of troubled men.
When she meets Wilson Moon, a young drifter with a mysterious past, on a street corner, their connection is immediate. And dangerous.
When tragedy strikes, Victoria is forced to leave her home and face a decision that will change her life forever.
Loved deeply by readers, the reader follows the epic adventure of Victoria Nash, determined to save her family's generational peach farm from destruction, as she falls in love, faces devastating tragedy, and finally faces what she must do to survive.
For fans of Where the Crawdad's Sing and Great Circle, this is a heartwrenching coming-of-age story.
