The Story
One farm. One summer.
A lifetime of remembering.
In 1949, Will Parlor sees a familiar silhouette across a busy Chicago street—and is carried back to the summer of 1917, when, at seventeen, he went to work on an Illinois farm.
There he finds hard work, friendship, first love, heartbreak, and the Helgeveld family. Thirty-two years later, a chance encounter brings back the summer that shaped his life—and the promises he carried with him.
A warm historical novel about family, race, love, loss, and a changing America.
