Sugaring Season

In 1953, a young Naval officer returned home to his family and fell in love with the girl who met him at the train.

"He'll tell you, if you stop to say hello, that he fell in love with her the moment he saw her, but she fell in love with him on the bridge." Katherine's voice had gone hoarse. "His face lights up like a boy's." - Kate Pease in Sweet Pease.

Thornton, Vermont's most enduring love story echoes through the generations that follow George Cartwright and Ginny Fletcher-from Walt and Molly Fuller's youthful passion to Elisha McNair's elegant rediscovery of a childhood infatuation, from Seth Weston's Big Hurt to George and Ginny's daughter's second chance at love.

Sugaring Season celebrates the sweetness of everyday love in eight short stories from the world of the Thornton Vermont Series. These eight stories can be read outside the series, or as a companion to the novels.

Note: this is the first time these eight stories have appeared together, but some readers may be familiar with some of them already as newsletter freebies or previously published works. The eponymous final story-Sugaring Season-is brand new for this release.
