'A SWEEPING STORY OF SURVIVAL AND BECOMING' WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION
'SPELLBINDING' THE TIMES
'BEAUTIFUL' DAILY MAIL
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.

'Shelley Read's lyrical voice is a force of nature and when she lends it to a woman leading a hardscrabble life in rural Colorado, the result is tragic, uplifting and completely unforgettable.' BONNIE GARMUS, author of LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY.
