new book 2024 summer.
It is May in the tiny hamlet of Glenville, Vermont, bringing with it currents of rejuvenation and rebirth. For three families, though, the year ahead will prove to be a roller coaster of life-changing events, promises, and tragedies. The story unspools via a chorus of unforgettable voices: an old-school Christian beekeeping family and newly transplanted New Yorkers; a trio of teenage girls and a deeply rooted family of ne'er-do-wells; and one woman who just wants to live alone in the woods. The shifting set of relations among the citizens of this community encompasses teenage pregnancy, drug abuse, poverty-and a cavalcade of thwarted dreams, young love in bloom, and poignant missed connections.
