    About this series

    “A sentimental and, at times, heart-wrenching story that touches on guilt, grief, forgiveness, and motherhood” from the author of Family Trees (Publishers Weekly).
     
    Nestled along the shores of the beautiful Great Lakes, Meyers Orchard is where Shelby Meyers found unexpected love and strength—and now must forge a new life on her own terms . . .
     
    Marriage marks both a happy ending and a new chapter for Shelby Meyers. She and Ryan Chambers have overcome tremendous odds to stand together in her grandparents’ orchard on the bluffs of Lake Superior, exchanging vows. Still, there are challenges old and new to contend with. Shelby struggles to find her niche among Ryan’s prominent Chicago family, while her own mother remains unreliable and unpredictable, impacting her life even from afar.
     
    Though Shelby’s love for Ryan is as deep-rooted as the orchard, her rocky upbringing makes her hesitant to start a family. Before she can reconcile those feelings, a personal tragedy throws Shelby’s confidence, and her marriage, into crisis. To move forward she’ll have to go back—to her Great Lakes hometown and her mother, and to secrets she could never have guessed at, as she resolves to branch out on her own . . .

      “March writes lyrically about the orchard and Lake Superior . . . [a] story of love, forgiveness, and growing into adulthood.”—St. Paul Pioneer Press   Sensible and self-reliant, Shelby Meyers knows exactly what she wants. She’ll never again depend on her errant mother, Jackie, who abandoned Shelby when she was a baby—and is forever searching for an elusive, glittering life. All Shelby needs is her beautiful, windswept Lake Superior, her loving grandparents, and the treasured-but-struggling family apple orchard she helps run—until a new love, Ryan Chambers, opens her heart to chance, and her eyes to a wider world than she ever imagined. But just as Shelby is looking toward an exciting future, Jackie unexpectedly returns—determined to make up for the past and “help” her daughter get everything she never could. Her confidence shaken, Shelby finds herself at odds with Ryan, and with his wealthy family’s overbearing expectations. Now, through wrenching change and sudden loss, Shelby must find a way to see herself, and her mother, in a new light, forge an all-too-fragile understanding—and risk the kind of freedom that brings its own unexpected, enduring rewards . . .   “[An] impressive setting . . . March is skillful not only at rendering her setting, but also at raising questions in the reader’s mind about Shelby’s fate and withholding answers for many chapters.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune   “March’s debut novel visits the charming, idyllic town of Bayfield, Wisc., nestled on the shore of Lake Superior . . . March’s setting is lovingly drawn.”—Publishers Weekly “A wonderful debut novel . . . March is a stellar new author.”—RT Book Reviews
