Sweetgrass by Mary Alice Monroe

Old hurts and one tragic event have driven the Blakelys apart and now fate could be dealing them the final blow. But could this loss be their redemption?

Sweetgrass has been home to the Blakely family for eight generations. But now Sweetgrass– named for the indigenous grass that grows in the area– is in trouble. Bulldozers are levelling surrounding properties, and the Blakelys could be forced to sell the one thing that continues to hold their disintegrating family together. For some of the Blakelys, the prospect of selling Sweetgrass is bittersweet– for others, it is completely unimaginable.

As they find the strength to stay and fight, they realise their bond as a family is all they need to stay together.
