Downsized from a Twin Cities ad agency, it's not long before Melinda is working at her family's hardware store in rural Iowa and tending to a barn full of animals. And like the garden she tends, Melinda begins to thrive. 1st in series!
A faded farmhouse, a devoted dog. One special season.
Melinda is already at a crossroads when the "for rent" sign beckons her down a dusty gravel lane. Facing forty, single and downsized from her stellar career at a big-city ad agency, she's struggling to start over when a phone call brings her home to rural Iowa.
It's not long before she moves to the country, takes on a rundown farm and its headstrong animals, and lands behind the counter of her family's hardware store in the community of Prosper, whose motto is "The Great Little Town That Didn't." And just like the sprawling garden she tends under the summer sun, Melinda soon begins to thrive. But when storm clouds form on her horizon, can she hold on to the new life she's worked so hard to create?
Filled with memorable characters, from a big-hearted farm dog to the weather-obsessed owner of the local co-op, "Growing Season" celebrates the twists and turns of small-town life. Discover the heartwarming series that's filled with new friends, fresh starts and second chances. First in a series

"... It's hard not to fall for the plucky Melinda and her quirky and kind friends and neighbors. It's also refreshingly free of the trope of the handsome man who swoops in to save the hapless woman. Melinda's reinvention of herself isn't without its bumps, making her a relatable heroine whom readers will want to follow to her next adventure." - (BookLife/Publishers Weekly)
