When Livvy Dunne, a scholarly young woman from Denver, becomes unexpectedly pregnant, she’s pressured into an arranged marriage with Ray Singleton, a quiet farmer. As she adapts to farm life, Livvy finds unexpected peace and connection—not only with Ray but also with two Japanese American sisters from a nearby internment camp. The novel gently explores themes of resilience, acceptance, and finding grace in everyday life.
