Miracle in a Dry Season
Sarah Loudin Thomas
In a drought-stricken West Virginia town in 1954, Perla Long arrives with her young daughter carrying little more than hope for a fresh start. When Perla’s remarkable ability to make food stretch brings unexpected abundance to her neighbors, it also stirs suspicion, judgment, and long-buried divisions. As the community wrestles with scarcity, faith, and the meaning of belonging, Perla and her daughter must discover whether compassion can overcome fear and make room for them in a place determined to protect its own.
