A new upcoming novel
from
Dorothy Garlock!
Look for her first hardcover,

the very human citizens
of Fertile, Missouri,
through the rule-breaking

She was sure her dream man had come to town when Corbin Appleby arrived in Fertile. Until then, only Evan Johnson, silent and hardworking, had paid attention to her. She thought about Appleby a lot. He was the only exciting thing to hit town—until the big flood came…
