Hurricane Season: Moving Southern Tale of Sisterhood, Motherhood, and Marriage

About this book

From USA Today bestselling author Lauren K. Denton comes an emotionally rich Southern novel about sisterhood, motherhood, and the storms--both literal and emotional--that reshape our lives in unexpected ways. Betsy and Ty Franklin, owners of Franklin Dairy Farm in southern Alabama, have long since buried their desire for children of their own. While Ty manages their herd of dairy cows, Betsy busies herself with the farm's day-to-day operations and tries to forget her dream of motherhood. But when her free-spirited sister, Jenna, drops off her two young daughters for "just two weeks," Betsy's carefully constructed wall of self-protection begins to crumble. As the two weeks stretch deeper into the Alabama summer, Betsy and Ty learn to navigate the new additions in their world--and revel in the laughter that now fills their home. Meanwhile, record temperatures promise to usher in the most active hurricane season in decades. Attending an art retreat four hundred miles away, Jenna is fighting her own battles. She finally has time and energy to focus on her photography, a lifelong ambition. But she wonders how her rediscovered passion can fit in with the life she's made back home as a single mom. But when Hurricane Ingrid aims a steady eye at the Alabama coast, Jenna must make a decision that will change her family's future, even as Betsy and Ty try to protect their beloved farm . . . and their hearts. Set against the lush backdrop of the South, Hurricane Season is a heartfelt story of healing, family, second chances, and the courage it takes to weather life's hardest seasons. Perfect for fans of atmospheric Southern fiction and emotionally layered women's stories, this stand-alone novel also includes discussion questions for book clubs.
