The heartwarming tale of a man with a traumatic history, a young girl with a bleak future, and their mutual quest for heart healing comes from the best-selling author of The Mountain Between Us. It starts in a quiet Southern town on the shaded town centre. At her lemonade stand, a lively seven-year-old has a thriving business. However, the little girl’s unsightly chest scar is visible through her lovely yellow clothing. With his thoughts focused on a yacht he’s rebuilding at a nearby lake, her most recent client, a bearded stranger, finishes his cup and leaves for his car. The stranger knows more about the scar than he would want to acknowledge. And their lives are about to take a different turn when the battered bread truck speeds around the corner with its radio blaring. Before it’s over, they’ll both understand that miracles may happen in unexpected places and that crickets weep for painful reasons.
