As the Hurricane Approaches, Two Sisters Must Deal with the Storms in their Lives

Betsy and Ty are a storybook couple. They live on a beautiful 500 acre dairy farm. Ty loves the farm that belonged to his grandparents. Betsy, with her degree in marketing, helps with the business aspects of running the farm including field trips by local schools and camps. Their only sadness is the lack of children.

Jenna, Betsy’s younger sister, had a wild youth. She was a free spirit who got pregnant twice. Now she is a single mother with two daughters. When she was younger, Jenna had a talent for photography that she wanted to develop, but the obligations of motherhood and earning a living have made her put her dreams on hold.

Then a perfect opportunity falls in her lap. She receives a scholar ship to a famous art camp in Florida. She agonizes about leaving her children, but finally calls her sister and asks her to keep the girls for two weeks.

Two weeks merge into almost two months. Jenna reawakens her photography skills while Betsy and Ty learn to deal with a makeshift family. At the end of the summer, as hurricane Ingrid approaches both sisters must deal with what they want and what they can expect to get.

This is a beautiful story. The pace is leisurely as befits farm life as well as the camp atmosphere. The sisters are real people. I felt by the end of the book that they were friends. Ty is my favorite character. He’s a good husband. He loves his wife and wants to support her, but he’s also a realist.

This is not a fast paced adventure. It is the moving story of two sisters facing their demons. I highly recommend it.

I received this book from Booklook Bloggers for this review.
