But she is haunted by the tragic secret of her sister's death and even her beloved orchards can't seem to save her. Refusing to give into sorrow, a desperate Fern goes in search of the courage she once had in order to live and dream again. She gets more than she bargained for when she finds friendship, understanding -and even love - in unexpected places.

Especially if peaches are involved... Coming of age story YA/Romance that deals heavily with death.
