When Rebecca Rankin travels from her mountain farm along Rankin Creek in remote Limestone County to attend her sister's funeral in Indiana, she does more than pay her respects. She sees her son, from whom she has been estranged for more than thirty years. And she meets, for the first time, her granddaughter, Kristi. Plucky but troubled, Kristi needs the love Rebecca can give, while Rebecca seeks the hope she thinks Kristi can offer. Also weighing heavily on Rebecca is her goal, bordering on obsession, of ensuring that the farm, owned by her family for over two and a half centuries, remains in Rankin hands after she is gone. Amid all this, both Rebecca and Kristi embark on journeys during which they learn to see themselves--and others--through fresh eyes. What ensues is a powerful tale of discovery, forgiveness, and redemption that will linger in the reader's mind long after the final page has been turned. John Omwake's previous works include THE EDUCATION OF NEELY ROSE WALLER and LIMESTONE COUNTY, in which the story of the Rankin family begins.
