Description

After losing her high-powered job and facing a frightening medical diagnosis, Karen Sommerfield retreats to her grandmother’s farm in rural Missouri. There, amid the rhythms of the land and the quiet resilience of its community, she forms an unexpected bond with a lonely child and begins to confront the fears and regrets she has long kept at a distance. As Karen searches for a new sense of purpose, she discovers the healing power of family, friendship, faith, and the natural world. Tender and emotionally rich, this story explores second chances, courage, and the transformative language of belonging.
